Turnip Hash and Fried Eggs

Turnip Hash and Fried Eggs

Makes 2 servings.

1 bunch Red Dog hakurei turnips, greens removed and roots cut into 3/4-inch cubes
Coarse sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or other neutral, heat-tolerant oil
1 stalk green garlic, trimmed and chopped (white and light-green parts only)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 eggs
1 tablespoon minced parsley

Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons sea salt. Boil turnip cubes just until tender, 3 to 4 minutes; remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon, pour off any excess water, and set aside. 

Next, boil radishes briefly, 30 to 60 seconds; remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon, pour off any excess water, and set aside.

Set a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add grapeseed oil and when hot, add turnips and a pinch each sea salt and pepper. Turning vegetables only once or twice, cook 8 minutes or until golden-brown. Turn heat to medium and fold in green garlic, cooking for about a minute. Push vegetables to the sides, melt butter in the center of pan, and add the eggs, salting each individually. For over-easy eggs, cook uncovered 4 to 6 minutes; for over-medium eggs, cover pan for 3 minutes, then uncover and continue cooking just until whites are set, 2 to 3 minutes longer. 

Finish with minced parsley and sea salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
