This was a pretty cool dinner. The ham just came from steaks that I pan fried. Nothing special there. The turnip and sweet potato mash used turnips either from my kids' gardens or the CSA. We must have used about 6 cups of diced turnips and 2 cups of diced sweet potatoes. Boiled. Then added a half pint of sour cream and some butter and milk and mashed. Those were yummy. We didn't add salt and pepper but those would not have been bad. We'd heard that sautéing turnip greens was not the way to go. So, we steamed them. They took a while to steam--probably 30-35 minutes by the time all was said and done. We had sliced garlic and bay leaves in the steamer and topped with butter and salt. Not the most exciting greens but not bad. Would work well with slivered almonds and a bit of parmesan too. Overall, it was a great dinner yesterday. Just with all those turnips and sweets it took a long time to prepare.
