I did something similar last night... i drizzled em with olive oil and

sprinkled em with Spike... then put them in the same baking dish as my steak

(which was also drizzled with olive oil and some other spices) and they

turned out very nicely. I'd never before in my life tried turnips and I was

pleasantly surprised... " thumbs up " for now :-)

I too was impressed with the turnip. It was wonderful in my pork roast. Today

I bout a jimica. I have heard that they too can be a potato substitut. Does

anyone have any advice on it? I was thinking of frying it like regular fried

potatoes.

I haven't tried jicama, but daikon radishes are a good potatoe substitute.

Marlena, what kind of steak were you baking? I have to

try turnips.

Kathy,

I've used jicima as a potato substitute with good success. I cube it up

into 1/2 " sized pieces and fry it in bacon grease like American fries. It

is more fibrous than potato, so it retains more crunch. And it has a

sweet-ish flavor.

It's pretty good.

I typically buy NY strip steaks or whatever else looks yummy :-) In cooking

it I just put it in a baking dish, liberally drizzle with olive oil and

sprinkle with spices (usually fresh ground pepper, garlic, and Montreal

Spicy Steak seasoning) and then slice up some onions on top and put it in

the oven on BAKE and 350 degrees for about 45 min (adjust time and temp for

however you like your steak... i.e. rare to well done). When I added the

turnips last night I just washed, peeled, sliced and quartered them then

tossed them in olive oil and Spike seasoning before placing them in the

baking dish around the steak and let the whole thing cook.

Before this WOE i don't think I ever actually had cooked a steak so I'm sure

there are lots of ways to do it... my limited culinary skills tend to stick

with this way since it is so fool proof... hey, even =I= can do it! LoL
