I confess to being turnip ignorant. It seems a shame to let a perfectly good vegetable go uneaten for lack of knowledge. Then I found this recipe in Yamuna's Table , and I became a turnip convert. Try it and join me in having a new appreciation for this humble vegetable. Ingredients:
4 medium turnips (about 1 1/2 lbs.) |
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg |
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
3 -4 tablespoons freshly ground parmesan cheese |
olive oil |
1 tablespoon lime juice (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Lightly grease a large cookie sheet with olive oil.
3. Pare the turnips and cut them into 2 1/2 x 1/2 inch sticks.
4. Combine the spices, Parmesan and turnips in a large plastic bag.
5. Seal and shake to coat.
6. Spread the sticks in a single layer on the prepared pan and brush with a little olive oil.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning once, until spears are tender and golden.
8. Serve with or without a sprinkling of lime.
