At the market I picked up a small bag of Baby Hakurei Turnips from Solana Farm and a small bunch of baby scallions from another vendor. I’ve never had turnips before so I was intrigued by the little white turnips with the greens still attached.
I asked on Twitter for some suggestions and @HutchDeLoach gave me a link to Turnip Greens Southern Style.
The recipe sounded good to me so I used what I had in the house to make it work. I used quanciale as the pork product and a bunch of baby scallions I also picked up at the market for the onion.
The greens have a nice bite to them and the little bit of sugar sure made them yummy!
The next day I used the baby turnip bottoms to make Glazed Baby Turnips & Carrots. They were nice and mild, a great side dish. I used French butter and maple syrup for the glaze so they had a great flavor!
