The humble turnip. It’s a much loathed vegetable. Yet, like other underdogs of the vegetable world, it is deeply rich in nutrients. Turnips are an especially good source of Vitamin C, manganese, copper and phosphorus and also contain good amounts of B vitamins.
An added benefit of turnips is that they are relatively inexpensive by comparison to the better loved vegetables like sugar snap peas and haricots vertes. For example, this dish which incorporates the simplest of ingredients (turnips, ghee, bone broth and parsley) costs approximately $0.77 per serving.
Braised Turnips with Parsley
Humble turnips turn wonderfully sweet when slowly braised in butter and broth. Top with a sprinkling of parsley and serve warm.

![[ad] I'm seeing the last of the season's luscious, ripe tomatoes at my farmers market - mixed among pumpkins and hardy greens. And they're just waiting to be roasted. ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you go to roast them, promise me this: You'll top them with a garlicky, toasted pecan crumble.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because it's absolutely heavenly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Buttery toasted pecans marry beautifully with the subtle caramel notes and sweet, deep flavor of roasted tomatoes. While garlic, sage and thyme give the dish a fragrant, bright lift.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I partnered with @AmericanPecan to develop this recipe, and worked my way through mountains of pecans. They've always been a favorite of mine - that rich flavor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My roots run deep in the American south, and pecans were LIFE. But, they were always sweet: pies, shortbread cookies and those ethereal pralines.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's the thing, pecans are wonderful when you use them in savory recipes, too. And in this recipe, they make a brilliant garlicky crumble - one that doesn't need breadcrumbs or cheese.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's really easy to throw together, too. You'll roast the tomatoes, and then while they're roasting, toast the pecans, garlic and herbs. And then sprinkle the pecans over the the tomatoes and tuck them in the oven for a few minutes to finish.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I made this at my family’s Thanksgiving this year, substituting the coconut oil and veggie broth, and was told that it should be a family tradition. (I also made your butternut squash & cinnamon, which was equally appreciated!) Thank you so much… I love your blog, and your attitude toward nourishment in general. 🙂
