Ann.without.an.e Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I was harvesting a large amount of turnips and then remembered that I can process them in the commercial sink my DH put in my garden/potting shed. Win win 💕 It is bigger than it looks - that metal pan is a commercial size steam pan. I love having this option. 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innisfree Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 That’s a great sink. I could be tempted by something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is, they were just tossing it at his workplace and so he recycled it. I wish I had half as nice a sink in my actual kitchen 😂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 https://britishfoodhistory.com/2019/09/13/cornish-pasties/ Here is a link to a recipe. Very similar to the recipe I use, but I add carrots and sometimes peas. I also use lean minced beef not skirt steak. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Sometimes you may find some carrot in your pasty, if you do, thrown it back the face of the person who gave you it, because there is no place for carrot a Cornish pasty." 😂😂 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet2ndchance Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Cornish Pasties!!!!! I wish I could make them as well as the little shop I had them at in England! My first thought with the turnips was the pioneer woman's beef pot roast with root veggies. Also dreamy and yummy. 🙂 ETA: Do make sure you are pronouncing it correctly, it is "p-ah-s-t-ee-s", not past-ees and certainly not paste-ees. lol 😛 Edited May 22, 2023 by sweet2ndchance 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann.without.an.e Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Wow I love new ideas. We always just dice them and eat them with their greens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet2ndchance Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Your thread inspired me to buy a pork roast and some root veggies when I went grocery shopping today lol. I haven't been able to start my little garden yet this year due to construction/demolition and landscape work. Maybe by fall I can have some of my own turnips! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I usually roast and mash them. They can be done like scalloped potatoes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmom Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) I love turnips. I mash them sometimes, too, because that’s how my grandmother preferred them—only I dice and boil them for that. If I roast, I just eat them diced. Yummy. In stew no one in my family can tell the difference between them and potatoes, so it’s a great way to cut some carbs if you’re in to that. 🙂 @Ann.without.an.e That is a dreamy set up!

We didn't realize we liked them until we tried growing them 3 or so years ago. They are one of our favorite garden delights. I really need to experiment with them beyond just dicing them in with the greens lol. It is nice with seed starting racks and stainless shelving, I'm so blessed. And as always, DH recycled a lot of the materials from elsewhere. They are constantly renovating at his workplace and he is over construction so if they are tossing it and he truly thinks we can use it he will snag it. Thank goodness he isn't a pack rat and lets a lot of things go too though haha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
