Ellen says, “Totally spontaneous recipe after gazillions of turnips showed up from the co-op. Turnips are often used instead of potatoes and have a similar taste. ”

Ingredients

8 turnips, washed and scrubbed, and shredded in a processor or cut in matchbook slices
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons Vegebase or other vegetable powder
1 pinch turmeric (optional)
1/2 cup dried soybeans (they often come 'lightly salted')

Preparation

1. In a large skillet, add the water, Vegebase and turnips.

2. Cook and stir several times until the turnips are translucent, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon right before serving. Add a pinch of optional turmeric for an even more golden color.

Note: You can add the soybeans anytime during the cooking to soften them up. Or you can add them after cooking for a contrasting crunch.
