I boil the turnips and the greens along with fatback or a ham hock - not very unusual. I went to the SOAR recipe archive and they had many unusual recipes for turnips (http://soar.berkeley.edu/recipes/) Here's one for making imitation anchovies using turnips (?!?!?): NICOMEDES' ANCHOVY Recipe By : Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 md Turnip Salt Poppy seed 1 tb Olive oil 1) Trim and peel the turnip, then slice it into thin pieces which are shaped like anchovy filets. Drop the pieces into rapidly boiling water and boil for 3-5 minutes, until they are tender but not too soft. Drain. 2) Arrange the turnip pieces neatly on a plate. Pour the oil over them, making sure all the surfaces of the turnips are covered. 3) Salt the turnips liberally, then sprinkle on the poppy seeds carefully, covering all the exposed surfaces, but keeping the poppy seeds on the "anchovies" only. I think adding Fish Sauce would make this idea complete.
