Turnip tops, anchovies and orecchiette are a traditional combination. Broccoli is a perfect alternative for turnip tops. I have never seen turnip tops in Belgium. They contain loads of vitamins and minerals. People who take warfarin or a similar anticoagulant have to be really careful. The combination can destabilize the anticoagulant treatment. Clean 500-600 grams … More Turnip tops
I can’t help it. Small pumpkin, intense flavor, in whatever combination, it will be on my menu. I can’t get enough of them. I’m still not sure whether to start my own kitchen garden.
