I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've eaten turnips. They're so often overlooked, because most people don't know how to cook these ruddy little root vegetables which are high in vitamin C. Then I had braised turnips at Locanda in San Francisco and I was sold on the idea that a turnip could taste delicious. And after creating this recipe, I can safely say that I have kindled a new love of turnips in our home. Click here to see Comfort Food Alternatives.
