I love to look for turnips at my farmers market in late autumn. (Find the best farmers market near you.) It seems that turnips are often overlooked in favor of other root vegetables like potatoes or ...

Rapini. 1 bunch broccoli rabe, aka rapini. 1 tablespoon salt. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. 3-6 cloves garlic, chopped. Use a pot large enough to hold the entire bunch of rapini, 4-5 quarts.

Whisk together oil, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, vinegar, Dijon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add chopped turnip greens; massage to coat greens. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes.

It became clear to me that a vote was in order. So we voted. And guess who lost? That’s right, the CARROTS. Despite everyone’s skepticism, the turnips slayed with a vote of 9 to 2.
