Turnips get a bad wrap!

When was the last time you had turnips. I remember my Mom serving boiled turnips, pureed with S & P and butter. I wanted to hold my nose to finish the pile on my plate.
Well, never again! You all have to try turnips once again, but in a more sophisticated but easy way!
This weekend we dug up potatoes, onions and turnips! A sea of yellow and white on my harvest table.
I checked my Italian cookbook, Silver Spoon, and found a fabulous recipe just for these three items! This is my adaptation of it:
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 lb white turnips, trimmed of the greens and thinly sliced
1lb of white potatoes sliced (I picked fresh yukon gold)
1/4 cup veggie stock
1 tbsp dried or 2 tbsp fresh minced oregano
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
S&P to taste
Place onion in a skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil and saute on medium heat until opaque but not browned.
Add the sliced potato and turnips, toss to coat and saute for another 3 minutes. Add S&P to taste and the veggie stock, saute to coat with stock and pour in an oven-proof cassorole dish or small roasting pan. Place in a 350 oven for 30 minutes. Almost all the stock should be eliminated, if it gets too dry, add a bit more. Sprinkle the minced oregano over the vegetables and sprinkle the mozzarella over the top for the last 10 minutes of roasting. Serve! Yummy!
It's so good, you'll make this a regular dish.
We served it with rib steaks marinated in olive oil and assorted dried peppers ground and rubbed in the meat, grilled, with sauted mushrooms. And for the greens, I cooked the turnip greens like spinach and sprinkled fresh grated parmesean cheese on top.
A fabulous meal after a tough weekend of weeding and mulching the garden with hay. I also had to dust my greens as the worms have been appearing. So, after dusting the entire garden with oganic dust, (took me about 1 1/2 hours) I was feeling satisfied until I wake up at 3AM to fierce wind and driving rain. So much for the dust! And why can't the weather team predict these storms? I sure wouldn't waste the time if they had predicted rain! So, this week I'll have to dust again! The only job that you can be wrong everyday and still get paid!
