Dp has managed to grow quite a few turnips. Other than mashing them, what else can one do with them please? Needs to be veggie.

How about turnip cake ? I've had it before and it was really nice!

Or soup?

Turnip dauphinoise is gorgeous. I had it with puy lentils braised in garlic, rosemary & red wine, with green veg on the side.

They are good cubed and added to chunky stews, handful of pearl barley makes this extra nice I think.

Add to roasted wintery type veg, like carrots, onions, parsnips.

You can slice them and use them to top hotpot type things, like a lentilly shepherds pie, then sprinkle a bit of cheese on the turnips.

They make a good alternative to cubes of potato in sag aloo.

Can you guess I have a surplus too?! Grin

Apparently, not only are the leaves edible too, they are realy really good for you, lots of vitamin K. I am thinking of trying an all turnip sag aloo.... leaves and roots!

I have never tried mashing though, might do that soon.

Dauphinoisse and braised lentils sounds fantastic.
Turnip cake looks interesting, but am veggie so I don't think it will work.
Mash them with potatoes, Tea, to make tatties and neeps, or clapshot (I think these are similar but the later is topped with chives by the look of it).

I'm never quite sure what to do with a turnip either but this is often the first dish I make with it: Turnip and Chickpea cobbler

I like the sound of turnip dauphinoise- will have to give that a go.
