In truth, I never meant to buy turnip greens. I thought I was buying frozen spinach for a pizza I was making. BUT when I got home, I realized that my bag of spinach was really a bag of greens. rg! Traditionally, I havent liked turnip, mustard, or collard greens all that much, but you know me, waste not, want not Griffin. This meant that getting rid of these frozen greens was not an option, and that I had a challenge on my hands–how would I make them taste good, with as little effort as possible? The answer was simple– Roasting + Beer!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Dice turnips into -inch cubes and toss with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast until tender, about 30 minutes. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Remove half the bacon fat from skillet. Add onions to skillet and cook until soft. Add garlic and greens and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes. Chop bacon. Stir in vinegar, stock, and bacon. Cover pan and cook 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper, fold in roasted turnips, and serve. From Move Over, Turkey.
FreezingCubed roots can be blanched for approximately 2 minutes, shocked in ice cold water to arrest cooking, and frozen. Or cooked roots can be mashed, cooled, and frozen. Cooked greens can be frozen as well.
Presentation: Arrange prepared radishes, butter, salt and bread in a manner that suits your esthetic style and décor. If possible, allow for the salt to be in a small bowl, or salt cellar, so that one can roll and crumble the salt between thumb and index finger.

I almost always eat radishes raw. However, my sister gave me this recipe to prepare radishes in an unusual way. Roasting brings out unexpected sweetness which counters the radishes' natural bite, resulting in a surprisingly different taste.

If youre looking for a low carb alternative to potatoes or rice, look no further than turnips. Yes, turnips! While they may be mildly bitter, roasting them will reduce that bitterness and add rich caramelized flavor.
The turniproots andthe greens are edible. Most grocery stores carry turnips with their greens removed. Often, we sell ours with the greens still attached. We cook them just like we would mustard greens. One of our favorite ways to cook them is to sauté them with a little olive oil, garlic, koshersalt, and black pepper.
