Ingredients
Turnips
preferably purchased from a coop or freshly dug, avoid turnips covered in wax as they're not as fresh and are inferior in flavor
Crunchy salt
such as Maldon, Faulk, or just Morton Kosher in a pinch, to taste
Fresh ground black pepper
to taste
Best tasting oil
as needed
Instructions
Peel or pare the turnips, moving through the outer skin and inner layers to reveal the tender, juicy heart.
Cut the turnips into roughly ¼ inch thick slices, wedges, or whatever shape you prefer.
Arrange the turnips on a plate, with a small bowl or ramekin of the oil and a bowl of salt alongside.
Dip the turnip slices into the oil, sprinkle with salt, and eat.
