Tasty turnips
Saturday, June 07, 2008
Imagine my delight when I heard the Fair Food Farmstand had gotten in a shipment of Hakurei turnips from Gottschell Farm! They’re only one my very favorite vegetables, and nearly impossible to lay hands on. Oh sure, I’m growing them in the garden this year but there’s no way I could resist buying several bunches of them. My first dragon boat race of the season is today, and having Hakurei turnips (recipe) for dinner last night was a good luck omen.
Better yet, I can count last night’s dinner as my third One Local Summer challenge meal of the week! I served the turnips with pork chops in a glaze of buckwheat honey.
