Turnips Recipe
I have never cooked turnips. They were not one of those vegetables that I ate growing up or ever cooked for my family. This changed the other day when I came across a photo of a Pakistani turnip dish on Instagram that looked so appetizing I just had to try it.
I adapted this recipe from Becky Keeps House. I tweaked Becky's turnip recipe just a little to suit my own taste. I cooked this for my picky family and guess what? They ate it! Ate it and enjoyed it 😉
There are many health benefits to eating turnips with their full spectrum of vitamins and minerals. Turnips are also a good replacement for potatoes, so do give this delicious recipe a try!
