Uncommon Ingredients: Turnips
The turnip is a delicious root vegetable that is in season right now. They are rich in vitamin C, low in calories and carbohydrates, and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Unfortunately, despite their tastiness and versatility, turnips are underrated and sometimes get lost in the mix. We won’t allow any of that here, because we’re giving you the best recipes that put this uncommon ingredient right in the spotlight.
Turnip & Onion Soup
This velvety and earthy soup is perfect for a light lunch. Slice and toast a piece of baguette to serve with.
Turnip Gratin
It’s fair to argue that anything topped with cheese and butter will be delicious. You don’t have to feel all that guilty though, this lower carb adaption of a gratin substitutes the classically used potato with antioxidant rich turnips.
Baked & Spicy Oregano Turnip Fries
A much healthier version of regular french fries, these crispy turnips can be enjoyed with any kind of dipping sauce. Although, doesn’t every love guacamole?
Mashed Turnips with Bacon and Chives
Creamy turnips, crispy bacon, and fresh chives make this side dish a winner. It’s so good, in fact, that you might not want anything else.
