Post away Zaf, the more there is the better.
Give each recipe a thread of its own though
This allows people to post another recipe or offer suggestions.
Anyone got one for Square Sausage or Haggis

Yeah you can use flour & milk to give it the bulk..Thats what a lot of chefs still use rather rather than the onion..
I have a recipe for it somewhere, il look it out for you

parsnips terrify me a little because i am always mistaking them for a chips which is always a little alarming.
but i do enjoy making soup so i may try and get over the fear and combine the two.
thanks  x

Right Zaf here it is, hope that it makes sense..
You can make the soup as normal, sweat off all your veg add your stock and all the rest of it. You can make a mirepoix without onions
, very finely diced leeks, carrots, parsnips and any other aromatic vegetables and flour, sweat them off and then add the rest of your ingredients.

Excellent! Me too, and I thought I was the only person in the galaxy that hated the foul root.
Instant sickness, pure puke stuff. It should be included in a book along with the most dangerous toadstools.

Mince is ground beef, and the neeps turn that colour when cooking, but they are the better for a bit of frost!

Sorry Woody, in the words of Billy Connely, it only needs a handfull of diced carrots thrown on top to make it look like something left outside a pub on the pavement after closing time.

I have a way of cooking turnips (Neeps) that's a bit different.
You need to take all the skin off for this one.
Cut it into quarters, depending on size I suppose.
You are going to roast it in the oven.
I only use gas, so I'm not sure about electric settings.
Get a big bit of tin foil.
Put the quarters onto the foil.
Rub real butter, not margarine, over the quarters.
Then sprinkle some sugar over them, about two tablespoons worth.
Wrap the foil around them, put them on a baking tray.
Gas mark 6, in the centre of the oven. 20 to 30 mins.
Again depending on size.
The sugar mixes with the juices, and the butter helps the roasting effect.
Honestly, it's a really nice way to eat turnip.

might give it a try Xcotty, OH loves the disgusting things

INGREDIENTS
3 turnips, peeled and chopped
1 pound bacon
4 tablespoons rendered bacon fat
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
DIRECTIONS:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add turnips; cook until tender but still firm. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl to cool.
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Crumble and set aside. Reserve bacon fat.
In the large bowl, combine turnips, bacon, reserved bacon fat and brown sugar. Mix together and serve.
I got this from my Recipe file online...There seems to be alot a turnips recipes and most of them are from US....
