Member Turnip Ideas

The first one came from Ashmali Patel, who has sent other amazing dishes:
"I have been roasting the root vegetables like you said in a sheet pan with oil salt and pepper. Then I make a hummus (with baby Lima beans ). Spread the hummus on a platter, drizzle some basil pesto or any kind of pesto and put the roasted veggies on top.
I also make a garlic chili oil which I drizzle over everything and it turns out really good. My kids have named this “Beyond Veggies”.
To make the Garlic chili oil: grate a couple of cloves of garlic into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and red chili (pepper) powder according to how spicy you want. Heat oil in a pot, add cumin seeds once oil is hot, turn off the heat and pour hot oil over the garlic. The heat from the oil will cook the garlic.
Drizzle this on anything to spice the dish up.
Hope u enjoy!"

Long time member Janine Lazur sent a recipe for Pickled Harukei Turnips, which is now posted on this site. She says she hasn't tried them yet because they are still fermenting - I find the addition of mint to be really interesting. This is an easy way to dip your toe into the world of fermentation, or if you are experienced, a new way to enjoy your veggies.

Thank you to both Ashmali and Janine!
