If you haven’t yet tried the over-sized Cape White turnips, you are in for a treat. Yes, even a turnip can taste great, especially this very special heirloom variety. These Cape Whites are creamy and sweet-tasting, more flavorful than typical purple top turnips. Find them locally on Martha’s Vineyard at Morning Glory Farm or at Cape Cod and Southeastern area winter farmers markets. The heirloom Macomber turnips are very similar. Try cooking as you would mashed potatoes, but you won’t need the cream, or roasting in the oven with olive oil, salt and pepper. This recipe sautes the turnip, adding in some kale, and drizzling over bit of honey over both. Simple, and delicious. Read more about this fall root vegetable, here.
