How do you cook your turnips? I think I've only had them roasted with other root vegetables and they got lost in the mix.

>> No.10005897

>>10005883

I tend to halve or quarter them depending on size and throw them in the oven with some beets, olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika.

It's mostly a product of my girlfriend always bringing me beets and turnips from her farm but I've found they go pretty well together. I think the beets are distinct enough that you kind of want a break (which you get in the turnips) but they're not so strong that the turnips just get lost.

Favorite root vegetable: the humble potato. Even better than rice, they have a million preparations. They're the blank canvas of root vegetable.

Favorite green vegetable: spinach. Loaded with iron, you can cook it or eat it raw in a salad.

Favorite colored vegetable: carrots. Necessary for a mirepoix, useful in 50% of all soups and stews, and tasty as a raw snack, with dip or without.

Fiddleheads taste like a very nutty asparagus/spinach and its quite pleasant in some butter. ive only eaten polystichum munitum & ostrich ferns before because they grow all over my yard.
as a precaution you should boil all fiddleheads because some varieties have toxins. ESPECIALLY ostrich ferns!!

Lay one on its side, cut off the top and bottom, then slice it into disks, maybe 3/4" thicc. Sprinkle salt all over the disks and let it sit for ten minutes. Then oil them up and put them on a grill for a few minutes until they get a little roasty. Take them off the grill, remove skin, maybe put some pizza sauce and cheese on them, and enjoy.

Motherfucking RED BEETS.

Borscht is delicious.
Pickled beets are awesome sugar sweetened or just on their own.
Roasted diced beets with other root veggies with some balsamic reduction. Mmm.
The greens are full of calcium and you can use them in anything.

Then you get to have a moment of panic when you think you just shat blood if you eat too many.

They're just great all around.

>> No.10009903

I love carrots. They're tasty and versatile. They have good fibre so keep me full for a long time. I can make them sweet with honey or savoury with vinegar. Sometimes I even grate one into my morning oatmeal. Cut into sticks and dipped into yoghurt or ricotta or cottage cheese make a good healthy movie snack. The supermarket ones are cheap as fuck but they're a bit bland and need to be peeled because the skin (and a bit under the skin) tastes horrible even after washing them. The independant fruit and veggie store ones are much better.
The vitamin A keeps my genes healthy too, and hopefully one day I'll get to share my genes with someone special. I wanna be a full time dad one day.

>> No.10013220

I can't choose one! I love vegetables too much and I'm grateful my parents have a vegetable garden with lots of different vegetables, herbs, and some fruits too. My favourite ones are definitely zucchini (especially zucchini blossoms), peppers (green long sweet peppers in particular), broccoli and rocket salad. I also like peas, fennel, celery, leeks, chives, red onions, cabbage (especially the red and the Savoy types), cauliflower, spinach, cucumbers, asparagus, artichokes, and green beans a lot. I just realized most vegetables I like are green.
I don't know why I like them, I just think they taste so damn good. I would eat only vegetables in my life but variety is necessary to get other nutrients..

My mum would make risotto with red beets sometimes. Tastes as good as it looks (a nice red/pink colour), very aesthetic. She'd make risotto with red cabbage too which is violet and looks really nice as well and tastes a lot better imo

Potatoes if you're counting potatoes.

If not then cabbage. I can eat it hot, cold, it's mild enough raw to taste good in sandwiches and shit. Also it keeps in the fridge for fucking ever so it's less likely to be a waste of money if I forget about it for awhile.
