Hey Guys! Hope you all had a super great weekend. We had a great time hanging with buddies and seeing a show at the zoo – that’s right – the zoo, we are getting old.
This recipe is a really great one if you’re looking to use up your leftover turnip, beet or even radish greens. I had a lot of tops from the beets and turnips we received in this weeks CSA box. I didn’t want to just throw them out, but looking at all those greens and thinking about eating them all seemed daunting. Wilting the greens and breaking them down was a good and delicious way to get them in my stomach!
If I made this again I’d probably go a bit lighter on the red chilis and oil, but that’s just me. It might be perfectly peeñty for you. Here it is:

Spicy Braised Beet & Turnip GreensRecipe from Driftless Organics Ingredients: In a large sauce pan, saute scallions, garlic scapes, a sprinkle of salt, and chile flakes in oil over medium heat. After a few minutes, add all of the greens, toss to incorporate all ingredients, and cover pan with lid. Once greens are wilted, remove lid. Cook greens until tender, about 8 minutes leaving the lid off for the last 2 minutes. Serve immediately, using tongs to transfer greens onto plates. Drizzle with more olive oil if you’re into that sort of thing. |
This dish looks super Korean – I swear I’ve had this as a side dish before.
Maybe it is! It was def pretty tasty…
I also made this dish after our Driftless box arrived last week! It was delicious. I ate the leftovers with some feta sprinkled on top.
Oh yeah, that sounds good! I love driftless so much! I made the pea salad last night that was on this boxes newsletter and it was super good. It was prepared with a cilantro dressing, I don’t even like cilantro, but I thought the dressing was really good, and you could make it with all sorts of different herbs.
