Every year, my husband clears space in the garden to plant turnips. He likes to eat them right out of the garden or in a variety of dishes, including this one I created just for him.
Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
dash pepper
1 cup water
1/4 cup milk
4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 small turnips, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in flour, salt if desired, basil and pepper. Gradually stir in water and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. In a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish, layer potatoes, turnips and ham; pour sauce over all. Cover and bake at 350° for 1-1/4 hours or until potatoes are tender. Garnish with parsley. Yield: 6 servings.
