Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2010Faux potato salad using turnips
I'd previously made a faux potato salad using cauliflower and it was OK. Today I tried using white turnips. It came out excellent, much better than the cauliflower version. I just peeled the turnips, cut them into cubes, then steamed them for a few minutes until they were just tender enough to insert a fork. Quickly spread them out to let them cool, then used in a classic potato salad, ie mayo, salt, pepper, diced onion, diced celery, garlic powder, onion powder. You could use any other recipe. It was delicious and really doesn't taste like turnip and I think people would have a hard time figuring out what it was made from. A 1/2 cup of the turnips has about 2g of carb compared to 14 for potatoes. > I'd previously made a faux potato salad using cauliflower and it was > OK. Today I tried using white turnips.

I've never been a big cereal eater. I only ate cereal occasionally, but they were a great item for a change from time to time and I do miss them. No Trader Joe's near me and I haven't really looked for any replacement. South Beach had a product that was lower carb, but I think it was around 20g of carb vs maybe 7 or so for Atkins. The Atkins cereal really tasted great, as good as regular and even the last old box that must have been 5 years old still tasted very good. On another note, there is more, even worse news. Looks like Hood has killed their CalorieCountdown LC milk! I'll start a new thread on that one. > ...

We get steel cut oats and make a batch a few times per year. Simple and filling though higher carb.

High Fiber is 23 and 9 fiber! Maybe you can find it online? SignatureJK Sinrod www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com >I'd previously made a faux potato salad using cauliflower and it was >OK.

Did you use the white turnips with purple near the stem? SignatureWhen you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.

I've also used them to make faux corn beef hash, which worked OK too. And I routinely put them in a variety of soups, like turkey vegetable. Once they are cooked they become remarkably mild. > When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing > which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has > other people looking at it. > W.

Also to improve the feed of your high carbers - I like to mix one part white turnip to six parts of potatoes in the boil and then mash them together. Everyone seems to like them better than plain mashed potatoes when that dilute. Little enough turnip that the dominate flavour remains potato and the turnips become an enhancer. In salads I like to use very thin strips of turnip raw. Get it as thin as strings and it becomes light. Think of the thin strings of daikon radish that comes with so many Japanese dishes. |
