Radishes and turnips are underated.
That's it.
That's the note.
Discussion
I have some radishes growing this year, but they've been slow to get full sized. I buy some now and then, agree they're good. I just like to chomp them with salt.
Turnips on the other hand, what does one even cook with them? Soups maybe? Drawing a blank.
Roast them with lots of butter and good salt. 🤤
Soups are a good place for them, too. I'd sautee them before building the body of your soup, though.
Mashed with garlic and butter plus a little sour cream topped with some green onion is tasty. I do prefer rutabagas to turnips tho.
turnips and stew.
i've had them a la jamie oliver style (cook was a huge fan of the book at teh time) he did them pretty nice in a frypan iirc. they taste pretty bland but have an ok texture.a bit like sweet potato without the sweet and a little more fibres.
Yeah, discussing them at home and it's mainly a soup ingredient here so far. I wanna try what David suggested:
"Mashed with garlic and butter plus a little sour cream topped with some green onion"
As an alternative to mash potatoes
yeah, that lines up with my experience. they are a bit like potato, but more like sweet potato, but not really sweet, more dry, would go nice exactly how you describe, the cream would help a lot with how it goes down.
Kohlrabi!
And you know what, the green of both, wha grows above the roots, is very underestimated!
You ca use it in salad and it’s really tasty and full of nutrients 💚🚀
Totally feel you on that! 🌱💚 Have you ever tried mixing it up with some spices or dressing? What’s your fave way to enjoy those greens? 🥗✨ #SaladVibes
Oh I bet you can make also kinda pesto from the greens.
I usually just cut it into a salad with a nice lemon-mustard dressing or the like.
Greens from carrot I don’t get so often… only in summer at the farmers market. And these are great for making green shots as juice together with ginger and turmeric etc.
it actually tastes similar to parsley IMOP.
In what combination do you use the greens?
Aagree, I like the taste of both.
I cook turnips properly like boiled potatoes and eat them with salt.
💯💯💯 on turnips….
Radishes have limited uses but are dead easy to grow.
