Petrowski Turnip

OK, we did harvest a few strawberries as well, but those were basically there when we bought the plants, so I’m not counting them.  One of our Petrowski turnips was poking out of the ground yesterday so we went ahead and harvested it and had it along with our smorgasbord of other random food.  Our one Petrowski turnip produced about the same number of greens as the entire bunch of 10 CSA’s turnips we picked up from our farm.  The greens are a little prickly when raw but we cooked them up in some olive oil, garlic, and onion, sprinkled with a bit of vinegar and topped with some parmesan cheese.  They were actually pretty tasty just a little bitter, but overall pretty decent if you are into greens.

We roasted the turnip along with some CSA turnips and potatoes.  It was a yellow turnip as opposed to the white variety we get from the CSA and we were pleasantly surprised by how it tasted.  It was a little sweeter than the CSA turnips but still had a mild flavor and we actually ended up liking it better than the CSA turnips.  We are excited to harvest the rest of the ones we’ve got and plant more when it gets cooler for the winter.

They are all things we ate at dinner last night!  Yes… quite the random assortment.  We got home from farm CSA pickup and were really hungry so made a salad, cooked some turnip greens, and scrambled duck eggs real quick while we waited for our grass fed steak and roasted potatoes and turnips to be ready.  We wanted to buy eggs at the farm while we were there but they were out of regular eggs and only had duck eggs.  We tried them for the first time last night and they were delicious.  I usually don’t like eggs much but I tried a bite of Jeremy’s and then kept eating them.  They don’t have the weird “eggy” flavor (for lack of a better description) that eggs have and they are mostly yolk and very little white.  I’m not sure what it was that we liked so much but if you get a chance definitely try some.
