My very first harvest for the year.
Pretty purple turnips.
I have never tasted turnips before.
I sliced up the turnips very thin and we ate those raw.
Whew, they had some kick!
The ribs were a hit, the greens…well I need to work on those a bit!
Then I cleaned and trimmed and cooked the greens and served them for dinner.
With these yummy ribs!

Any tips on cooking turnip green would be appreciated!
Hey Aimee- try adding a little sugar to your greens while they're cooking – it really helps the flavor. A little cooking oil, too.
I'd never cooked the turnip greens since they seemed a little thorny to me. For other greens though, I like to steam them until they are just wilted, and then put a little red wine vinegar on them like a dressing.
Nothing like eating food you've grown yourself.
i know they are good with butter! i usually see them cooked a lot like you would cook spinach..
Cook them and serve with salt and vinegar. If you don't like them, try beet greens–they're to die for. Turnip greens are a bit harder to get down.
