Folks from the Angel Family Farm CSA tried mashed turnips- their kids loved them (and they swore they hated turnips!). Enjoy!
Mashed Turnip Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 8 medium sized turnips
- Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- ¼ cup milk (regular or soy)
- Peel turnips, trim ends and cut into quarters. Put in large stockpot, cover with cold water and bring to boil. Boil until fork tender, about 10 minutes.
- When cooked, pour pot contents into colander to strain. Return empty pot to low heat and add olive oil.
- Add drained turnips to oil, season with salt and pepper and mash with potato masher.
- If you don’t have a potato masher, use a blender, food processor or the back of a heavy spoon.
- (Turnips can also be served quartered at this point rather than mashed.)
- Add milk and continue to mash until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot. Can be held in pot for an hour or so and re-warmed just prior to service.
