Kitchen Ideas
- Your turnip and radish greens can be washed and sautéed for use in a quiche, lasagna, quesadilla…you name it. It’s best to cut the greens from the roots as soon as you get them home, as this will prevent the radishes and turnips from going soft too quickly.
- Kale (and turnip greens) makes a great spanakopita.
- French breakfast radishes are oblong and have a pretty pink at the tip that fades to white. A very French way to serve them is to wash them and serve raw (maybe slice in half lengthwise) with good softened butter and sea salt for dipping.
- Use your turnips, radishes and their greens in one easy side dish with this roasted turnips and radishes recipe.
- Lots of eggs + summer berry season = time to make pound cake.
