Earth Day Thursday- Better Than Mayo Recipe

As Wendy and I were sitting with her cookbooks perusing our CSA score for the week, we discovered a very fun recipe that I had to try immediately.

It is called "Vegetable Sandwich Spread", but I am calling it "Better than Mayo." It came from the Farm Fresh recipe book Monroe Organic Farms sells. This is an amazing resource because the recipes focus on the veggies grown on this farm and that I receive each week. I was beginning to wonder what else to do with my turnips when this little gem was discovered.

4 med turnips, quartered

1 small onion, quartered

3 cloves roasted garlic

salt an pepper to taste

1-2 T extra-virgin olive oil

steam turnips and onion and then combine with garlic in a food processor. Puree until smooth drizzling olive oil as the processor is running. Use instead of mayo.

How stinkin easy is that? It was also quite fortuitous that all three of those veggies were present in my bag last week. It tastes so good and very creamy and rich.It is delicious on sandwiches and I am going to be using this ALL the time.

Even if you don't belong to a farm or CSA, they are a great resource for recipes and ideas of how to use local produce from your area.

Next up, what the heck am I going to do with all of those beets?
