Roasted Turnips with Carrots, Onions, Farro

a veggie roast is the perfect way to use a winter share, and grains are a great pairing. Drizzle your favorite hot sauce, dressing or other condiments and enjoy

  • 4 to 6 medium turnips

  • 4 to 6 medium carrots

  • 2 red onions

  • Salt, to taste

  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 cups farro

PREPARATION
  1. Preheat the oven to 400º F (200º C).

  2. Peel the turnips, carrot, and onions and them cut into 1-inch wedges or chunks and put them on a baking tray. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with olive oil, then toss. Roast for 30 minutes, shaking the tray once or twice, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly shriveled.

  3. Rinse and drain the farro. Bring 2 cups of water to boil, season with salt, and add the farro. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the grains are soft but still chewy at the center. Drain.

  4. Divide the farro between four bowls, top with vegetables, and serve.

Veggie Stir Fry

a good jumping off point, but feel free to use whatever veggies you have!

  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup fresh broccoli florets

  • 1/2 small onion, julienned

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage

  • 6 large mushrooms, sliced

  • 1/2 to bunch of tatsoi, chopped, stems and leaves

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1/2 cup cold water

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 cloves minced garlic

Directions from Crossroads Community Farm

  • In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch, water and soy sauce until smooth.

  • In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry the broccoli, carrot and onion in oil for 5 minutes.

  • Add the cabbage, mushrooms and garlic. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender.

  • Add the tatsoi and cover and cook until slightly wilted (about 1 min). Stir in soy sauce mixture; cook and stir until thickened.

  • Serve with rice if desired.

More in-season inspiration…

  • Napa cabbage, garlic, carrot, onion: Kimchi / Vegan Kimchi

  • Potatoes: Roasted Potato Galette with Cheddar & Chives

  • Turnips, garlic: Orecchiette with Caramelized Turnips & Kale

  • Turnips, garlic: Turnip Risotto

  • Sugarloaf chicory, garlic: Orecchiette with Sausage and Chicory

  • Sugarloaf chicory, garlic: Italian Sauteed Chicory

  • Try napa cabbage wraps! Whip up whatever filling sounds good to you, from roasted veggies to meat, the napa is a perfect, gently crunchy vessel. My favorite filling is ground beef with some tamari, garlic and lots of ginger.

Veggie Spotlight: Napa Cabbage

Tender and mild Napa Cabbage is popularly used to make kimchi. It is great both raw (in salads, slaws and wraps) and cooked (braising, stewing, grilling, stir-frying, and boiling all work well). It is often cooked into noodle dishes or soups.

Napa cabbage is an excellent source of calcium, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants.
