Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb turnips * See Notes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or bacon fat
  • 1 head of cauliflower cut into small pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Pink salt to taste
  • Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
  • 4 fried eggs optional

Instructions
 

  • Scrub the turnips and dry them.
  • Poke a few holes in them with a fork or knife.
  • Microwave for 2 1/2 minutes, turn them over, and microwave for an additional 2 1/2 minutes.
  • Remove from the microwave, and allow to cool enough to touch.
  • Remove the skin and cut the turnips into 1/4 inch cubes.
  • In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil, or bacon fat, over medium-high heat.
  • Add the turnips, cauliflower, red bell pepper, onion, and garlic, pressing them down evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  • Season with the cayenne pepper, pink salt, and black pepper and cook until the underside is golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Turn the hash with a spatula and press it down again. Cook for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the turnips and cauliflower have turned a golden brown.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Serve topped with a fried egg if desired.

Notes

I have made this without turnips too. Just use two small heads of cauliflower.
