Turnips!
I have to say this isn’t exactly the sexiest vegetable out there, but they’re in season right now and tasting great. I liken them to daikon meets horseradish mild. They also can have an inherent sweetness that’s unexpected. Baby turnips are tender enough to eat raw. Just season with salt and sugar. Finely grate them into miso soup, shave them into a salad, poach them in a mushroom broth, pickle them, roast them and serve with beef of any kind, poach them in butter & nutmeg and serve with duck, eat them raw with sri-racha and a beer. Whatever you do don’t forget about them, they’re cheap delicious and in season.
