This reminds me of the first time I ever had turnips. It was a good thing I was at a friend of my parents house or I probably would have turned my nose up at and not even tasted them. Our friends were having a BBQ and they prepared all of the vegetables this way, wrapped them in heavy duty foil and then buried the foil packs in the coals. I had been thinking about them for quite a while. I got some with my groceries and then searched the app for a recipe. When I saw this one, I had to try it. They tasted exactly like I remembered. Thank You Nancy!
Absolutely delicious! My neighbor gave me a bunch from his garden. Thanks, Nancy! I was intimidated by the turnips, as I’d never cooked them.
We had these for Sundai Supper last night and loved them, the only change I will make next time is to take the garlic out of its jackets for more garlic flavor and for sake of ease because we love to eat it and it was a little awkward peeling it at the table. I’m looking forward to the leftovers tonight!
Just made this recipe, I must say the flavor is incredible! I did add shallots to the mix and a herb basting oil plus olive oil. This has made it to the list of family favorites of side dishes.. Yummers!
