The theme for Monday posts in January is Winter Greens.

By January my provide of winter squashes from my potager is dwindling and I get to purchase winter greens.

For us, it’s a deal with to have cauliflower or broccoli or Brussels sprouts or cabbage or a number of the ‘forgotten’ greens. We love turnips and rutabagas and… have you ever ever had crosne?)

I attempt to make all greens enjoyable – these might be a few of our favorites.

A little bit extra data on this recipe: We begin backwards:
The completed product is potatoes and carrots which are barrel-shaped and app. 2 inches (5cm) lengthy by 3/4 inch (2cm) thick on the center (like a barrel the ends might be only a bit thinner).
Have a look at your greens:
Ideally it is best to be capable to lower the potato in half the brief method and have two items a bit longer than 2 inches (5cm). Lower these halves into 4ths the great distance and, as they are saying, ‘lower away the half that’s not the barrel’. Trim the items into one thing near a barrel-shape. A big potato will provide you with 8 turned potatoes and a small potato will give 4 – you received’t lower it in half the brief method first. You want 6 – 8 per particular person.
Lower the carrots into lengths and trim the identical method.
Don’t be overly involved about your carving skills, simply attempt to hold them related in measurement. A little bit smaller is okay.

Closing notice: I make these when I’ve soup (Potato Soup ?) deliberate so I can use all of the trimmings.
