Description

These rustic croutons with turnip tops and pecorino cheese are an explosion of Mediterranean flavors! Perfect as a tasty appetizer or for a Sunday brunch, they are prepared in a flash with the Thermomix®. The slight bitterness of the turnip tops blends perfectly with the flavor of the pecorino cheese, creating an irresistible taste balance. I especially love them in the fall, when the turnip tops are at their best. A tip? Add a pinch of chilli pepper for an extra touch! They can be prepared in advance and au gratin just before serving.
