Ornamental Turnips with Vegetable Medley

Ingredients

• 8 medium Young Turnips (Choose turnips of similar size.)
• 2 medium Carrots (Peeled and diced.)
• 1 cup Green Peas (Fresh or frozen.)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (Optional, for added richness.)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (Or to taste.)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper (Freshly ground, or to taste.)

Instructions

1. 1Wash and peel the turnips. Cut each turnip in half. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out the center of each half, creating a cup shape. Reserve the scooped-out turnip flesh.
2. 2Dice the reserved turnip flesh and carrots into small pieces. In a bowl, combine the diced turnip, carrots, and green peas. Season with salt and pepper. Add butter if desired.
3. 3Place a mound of the vegetable medley in the center of a serving dish. Arrange the turnip cups around the base of the dish. Fill each turnip cup alternately with diced carrots and green peas, creating a visually appealing pattern.
