JUDI’S RECIPES – WEEK 23 – NOVEMBER 9, 2021

NOVEMBER 9, 2021

Hi Everyone,

Daylight Saving Time is over. It’s getting cooler and darker, and our lovely farm season will end very soon.

The root vegetables are coming in, and this week we are getting Hakurei turnips, native to Japan. Hakurei turnips have a radish-like flavor but are a bit sweeter. I think you’ll enjoy this dish.

HAKUREI TURNIPS WITH SOY AND GINGER

Ingredients

1-2 tsp olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger, if you must)

1 bunch Hakurei turnips, washed and cut into 1-inch dice

Turnip greens, washed and chopped

1-2 TBS low sodium soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil over medium heat in a saute pan or skillet.
  2. Add the ginger and saute for a minute or two. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Don’t let the garlic brown or it will be bitter.
  3. Add the turnips and, cook until they are slightly brown (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Add the turnip greens and soy sauce. Saute until the greens begin to wilt.

That’s all there is to it!

HELPFUL HINT: Fresh ginger can be tough to peel. Use the edge of a teaspoon to scrape the skin off. You can freeze the remaining ginger. for future use.

I hope you love this dish. It’s a great fall side.

Have a delicious week.

Best,

Judi
