Fri Aug 7, 2015, 01:31 PMGalileo126 (978 posts) Turnips, anyone?OK, so I have a few (large) turnips... and want to do something other than the "boil/mash/butter" thing. Sure, it's a root veg, but there must be something other than treating the turnip like a spud. I like the flavor of the turnip! Any ideas for a recipe? A soup perhaps? Roasted? Signed, "Clueless" ps - thx in advance for your ideas.

They are good when added to a vegetable stew or soup, add depth to the flavor of the broth. If I make a pork roast, I always add a sliced turnip, plus an onions and some celery. The 3 vegetables cook down into the meat drippings and you have a great base for a flavorful brown gravy. When I was a kid, we'd eat them raw, sliced thin with a little salt on them.

This reminds me of The People's Cube, and all the things they do with beets.
I'll bet NJCher can whip up some killer turnip pancakes.
Her recipe includes dark chocolate, kale, and whole anchovies.
