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)

1. 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.
2. When cooked, pour pot contents into colander to strain. Return empty pot to low heat and add olive oil.
3. Add drained turnips to oil, season with salt and pepper and mash with potato masher.
4. If you don’t have a potato masher, use a blender, food processor or the back of a heavy spoon.
5. (Turnips can also be served quartered at this point rather than mashed.)
6. 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.
