Turnips are a wonderful, and wildly underused, low starch alternative to potatoes. I made this as a side for a recent dinner party and served it cold so that I could relax rather than cook when our friends were here. The addition of incredible Bundarra bacon was inspired, further elevating what was already a well flavoured dish.
My husband is the regular shopper of the family and, on the day of the dinner party, I sent him out with a short list of ingredients to procure. With other things on his mind, he returned home with an enormous bag of parsnips rather than turnips. Of course he headed straight back out to buy turnips, resolving the issue of the day but leaving me with a load of unexpected root vegetables which were not on my cooking radar.
A quick check of my spreadsheet tells me that there are three parsnip recipes I have not yet cooked so expect to see a significant amount of parsnip action on the blog in the coming days!
