pretty purple vegetables

For no other reason, except acknowledging that you have been confronted by a lot of text here at Chez Nazi and too little pictorial prettiness, I give you...



turnips (Vic Market, June 2008).

There has been a paucity of recipes too, I know, though a rather lot of cooking. But do you really need a recipe for (gluten-free) pasta with baked cauliflower and anchovies?

But back to turnips. Is there anything wintery and exciting you can do with them that doesn't involve cheese or meat?

Just a thought.
