Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 bunches (about 1 pound) baby turnips (ping pong ball size), greens and soft stems reserved
8 small baby red creamer potatoes (about 1 pound), halved
1 large red onion, peeled with root intact, cut into 6 wedges
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons yellow miso
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
4 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts kept separate)
4 to 6 large eggs

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F with a rack set on the middle shelf. Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
Gently toss the baby turnips, potatoes and onion wedges with 2 tablespoons of the oil and a light sprinkle of salt and pepper. Carefully add to the hot pan and put in the oven to roast until the vegetables are golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the miso butter. Stir together the butter, miso, garlic, ginger and half of the scallion greens.
Thickly slice the reserved turnip greens and stems (about 1/2-inch pieces).
Remove the vegetables from the oven and turn off the heat. Gently stir in the reserved turnip greens and scallion whites until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the miso butter to the pan and gently toss to coat the vegetables. Return to the oven to keep warm while you cook the eggs.
Heat the remaining oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Crack 4 to 6 eggs into the pan; if they stick together, that's OK. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites start to set, 2 to 3 minutes, and then cover with a lid and continue cooking until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 1 to 2 minutes.
To serve, top the roasted vegetables with the fried eggs and garnish with the remaining sliced scallions.

Japanese Turnips with Miso image

Provided by Maggie Ruggiero

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons white miso
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
3 pounds small (1 1/2-to 2-inch) Japanese turnips with greens
1 1/3 cups water
2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)

Steps:

Stir together miso and 2 tablespoon butter.
Discard turnip stems and coarsely chop leaves. Halve turnips (leave whole if tiny) and put in a 12-inch heavy skillet along with water, mirin, remaining tablespoon butter, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then boil, covered, 10 minutes.
Add greens by handfuls, turning and stirring with tongs and adding more as volume in skillet reduces. Cover and cook 1 minute. Uncover and continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until turnips are tender and liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 5 minutes. Stir in miso butter and cook 1 minute.
