Purple Top Turnip
The humble turnip, a storage root that offers a soft sweetness in the middle of winter. Although not as exciting as some of the veggie celebrities at the market, these turnips are so tasty in a roasted root medley drizzled with aioli or pesto or even just salt. Add cubes to a soup or puree for a creamy soup. Make fries, slice into thin matchsticks and stir-fry—you can do pretty much anything with a turnip.
