Healthy Holidays Peas and Turnips Recipe
It might sound cliche, but the main ingredient of this original recipe was love. The man who made this dish on holidays was my late grandfather. Although he hasn’t been with us for 10 years, it’s impossible to taste peas and turnips without of woosh! of nostalgia for his great love. Few things made him happier than to see people eat and be merry together.
If you’re scratching your head trying to figure out what dish to bring to your event, look no further…
It’s so simple, it doesn’t require a recipe format article. Prepare frozen peas careful not to overcook. Chop fresh turnips – you choose the amount. They can be added a few minutes after boiling the peas – they don’t take long to cook and become mushy if overcooked. If using frozen turnips, add and cook the same amount of time as the frozen peas.
Add generous – generous – amounts of butter, salt and pepper. That’s it! For the best benefits and taste, use organic peas, butter from grassfed cows (look for Kerrygold in stores), and Himalayan pink salt.
