Roots II

More turnips last week. We still had two turnips from our final CSA farm box pick up so I found a recipe for creamed turnips flavored with spices. After peeling and chopping the 'nips I boiled them with three whole peppercorns, three whole cloves, and a bay leaf until they were tender. I removed the aromatics, drained, and then mashed with a bit of milk and butter. Finally I added fresh grated nutmeg. This turned out to be a good way to completely hide the flavor of the turnips. We had these as a side dish with some salmon.
