Turnip Tantalizers - Recipe Exchange
Two core themes emerged during the Fernwood Wisdom Council in March 2008:
- reduce our footprint (concern for ecology, 100 mile diet...)
- expand our handshake (be an active member of community, meet neighbours...)
What better way to support local food and community than a cookbook...
Turnip Tantalizers - A Fernwood community recipe exchange.
It was observed that if we aim for a 100 mile diet (locally produce food), we will be eating more turnips in the winter, rather than flying in fruit and vegetables from California and South America. Whatever your beliefs and values around this...I invite you to submit turnip recipes by replying to this topic. For more background on how this resurgence in popularity of the humble turnip, read the statement from the Fernwood Wisdom Council....then Turn-up!
Suggested Recipe format (so we can do a book):

Turnip Fries
-served by me, looking for a delicious way to eat the large turnips and rutabagas in my fridge.
Slice the roots into french fry shape, say 4 small or 1-2 large for a few people.
Mix a 1/4 cup of fat (oil, butter, rendered fat from your roasting chicken, etc) with spices on hand. I favour a heavily spiced mix of cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, salt, cinnamon, pepper and cayenne - but just butter and salt, turmeric and sesame seeds for feeding kids, or at least feeding mine.
Toss your fries and oil mix in a bowl. Lay out on cooking sheets.
Roast at 400, or so, until done. I like them a little browned, though I've never succeeded in making them especially crispy.
Great as a side dish.
Serves more than you think it will. Give yourself an hour and a half at least before you want to serve them, mostly in the oven.
