I've been traveling again, so running a bit behind!This past weekend was the final leaf lettuce harvest and the harvest of the most delicious turnips ever. A few highlights:
The largest of the bunch, just bigger than a baseball.
The entire batch after the tops were trimmed. Pretty impressive considering we had 18 pretty good sized turnips from just 2 square feet!
A HUGE bowl of turnip greens just waiting to be cooked up!
We cooked a big batch up on Saturday night. The turnips were sliced into rounds (like scallop potatoes) and placed in a foil packet with some butter, and fresh rosemary, thyme, and dill (from the garden of course!). Then I tossed the packet on the grill and grilled them for about 10 minutes. The ones on the bottom of the packet caramelized beautifully and together they came out just absolutely delicious!
The greens were just wilted down in a big stock pot. Just rinsed them really good and threw them in. No extra water or anything at all. As they wilted down I used the kitchen shears to chop them down into more manageable bite sized pieces since I put them in there stems and all. As they came to the end of the cooking process I stirred in some shredded Parmesan cheese and fresh ground pepper. DELICIOUS and easy!
