Turnip Report

Today's big discovery:  turnips have *greens*!  Oops.

I made this.  It wasn't bad:  https://eatingrichly.com/vegetarian-night-creamy-swiss-chard-soup-with-goat-cheese/

The dill pesto was pretty good too.  Apparently I don't need a recipe to make pesto.

They do! Are they tasty? They're brassicas, so I imagine they're edible.

We tend to mix them in with other cooking greens. I wouldn't eat them raw, but they'd be better than raw kale, and that's all trendy now so what do I know?

And then how do you cook them? (My last experiment with strong greens was dandelions, which were a bit much for me sauteed, but tasty in soup or pasta salad. They're just potent, though, not tough, so cooking is optional.)

I just mix 'em in with the kale. Don't tend to sauté kale, so usually steamed I guess?

I think I have put them in stir fry with other greens. Really they get lost in other greens, they're not strongly flavored like dandelion greens are. They can be a little peppery, which is yummy.

I puree all greens and make them into saag.

Except for the chard, which made a surprisingly decent soup.
