Yesterday I went to pick up my weekly veggie box and there was a change - no more garlic scapes, but now with blueberries and turnips!
The blueberries are gone; I ate them all immediately and got a sore tummy for it. There was only 3 small turnips, with the leaves, and so I dug some beef out of the freezer and made a stew. It tastes a bit wintery for this hot weather, but it's good and I think Baby will like it too.
1 yellow onion
garlic to taste
diced carrot
parsley
turnips and turnip tops
thyme
2 bay leaves
stewing beef
tomato soup
brown sugar
olive oil
flour
Worcestershire sauce
black pepper
Saute diced onion and minced garlic in olive oil until soft; add a tablespoon of dark brown sugar and coat. Add beef, let it brown a bit and add a spoonful of flour to thicken up. Add 1 can of tomato soup and 2 cans of water, all the carrots, parsley, and turnips. Add the herbs and some Worcestershire sauce and black pepper for flavor. Simmer one hour or more, checking the water level periodically.
I found it could use a bit more salt or some bouillon but I left it out for the baby's sake. The turnip tops are surprisingly tasty, since I don't like the turnip root that much.
