Turnip Recipe sheds light on the humble veg also known as rutabaga - an often overlooked fall root vegetable.
This turnip recipe is a tried-and-true family favourite. After peeling, turnip is simple to prepare, making it a great everyday side dish that still feels special enough for holidays and special dinners. Some may consider it comfort food.
For this recipe, choose a large waxed turnip, also called rutabaga or swede.
Turnip can smell a little bit strong while it's cooking. If it becomes bothersome, consider cooking it outside on a barbeque burner.
Turnip Recipe is similar to Acorn Squash Recipe, but a little more decadent.
