Reactions

Slightly sauteing the turnips to give them a nice golden color adds a texture that is sometimes missing in boiled turnips. The flavors in this dish compliment each other so well. Salty, sweet, fresh, with a subtle spice. This is a multi-meal dish. Try this recipe in the morning with your egg scramble or any style you prefer, as a starch substitute.
