Rape strascinate

Rape strascinate is a traditional vegetable dish originating from Abruzzo. The dish is made with a combination of turnips, olive oil, garlic, chili peppers, and salt. The garlic, salt, and chili peppers are sautéed in olive oil, then mixed with the turnips that have been washed but not dried and cut into quarters. The mixture is stirred so that the turnips are fully coated with the olive oil, and the dish is then cooked over low heat until everything is tender. Rape strascinate are especially popular in the winter after the frosts.
