RECIPE – Sauteed Turnips and Turnip Greens with Garlic Scapes

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch turnips with their greens

  • 2-3 garlic scapes, chopped

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil or any mild oil

  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken stock

Directions

1. Thoroughly wash turnips, then trim greens from turnip bulbs. Set turnip greens aside to drain. Trim turnip bulb ends and thinly slice turnips. Then coarsely chop greens.

 

2. Heat garlic scapes in oil over medium heat in a large skillet until they begin to sizzle. Add the turnips and greens. Turn and coat with oil as you wilt the greens. Add broth. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes to soften.

WASH YOUR VEGGIES:  We DO NOT extensively wash veggies before delivering them to you.  We will do some washing if there is a lot of dirt on greens and we always rinse root crops.  In general, this allows the food to stay fresher longer. It also means you need to wash your veggies before consuming them. For greens: fill a bowl with cold water.  Soak greens in water for a minute.  Drain water and repeat two more times. Dirt will rinse to the bottom. Bugs should float to the top.

KEEP FOOD FRESH, EASY: Store leafy greens in a sealed plastic bag in the fridge. To revive wilted greens, dunk them in ice water and dry in salad spinner or with gentle toweling. To make it easier to use greens on the go, wash and chop them in advance and store them in a sealed plastic bag. Then you can just grab a handful to add to your eggs, smoothie, soup, or sauté. Quick and easy.

CHICKEN FOR SALE: Farm-fresh, pasture raised chicken available for order. Please reserve your birds today.

The Orisha Oya, a constant presence during Black and Latinx Farmers Immersion, comes with wind and storms, bringing fierce protection and deep transformation. Ase. Here we dance in celebration and gratitude after our last Hands on the Land together during BLFI Session 1, having just weeded the orchard perennial spaces where ancestral agroforestry practices live and grow.
