Turnips

I am now harvesting turnips from my veggie corner. Normally I roast them with other root vegetables, oil, lemon juice, garlic and rosemary but have been on the lookout for something more interesting to do with them.

Recently I came across a recipe for Mediterranean chicken with turnips in the Five-a-Day Fruit and Vegetable Cookbook by Kate Whiteman et al. In this recipe julienned turnips are cooked with chicken, onions, garlic, tomatoes, tomato juice, chicken stock, white wine, paprika, cayenne, olives and S&P in the oven.

I tried the recipe last night omitting the olives (yuk!) and substituting more stock for the wine. It was really yummy!
