After so long chocolate, torrijas and monas de Pascua, I was in the mood for some vegetables. If the body is wise and mine was crying out for some potatoes with turnip greens and garlic.
El sprout It is the tender shoot of the turnip. It has a very short duration, the best being February and March. In Galicia they buy fresh bundles. Fortunately, today they are already sold packaged and we can take advantage of their flavor at any time.
Those of us who like Galician gastronomy we know the turnip greens well as they are part of their recipes, without going any further than its famous Galician broth or the pork shoulder with turnip greens.
As you will see, in this recipe for potatoes with turnip greens and garlic, I have used those that are packaged because outside of Galicia they are not easy to find fresh. But it doesn't matter because we can equally enjoy your simplicity and peculiar flavor.
The ajada or, as they say in my house, Ajoarriero It is a mixture of fried garlic with paprika and vinegar. Whenever I make this recipe I have plenty of it because, in reality, I only use it to add a touch of flavor and color to the dish. It is a very special sauce that can be used to accompany fish such as hake or ray, grilled octopus or other vegetables such as cauliflower.
