COUSCOUS WITH TURNIPS AND SWEET POTATOES



Couscous With Turnips and Sweet Potatoes image

Turnips store well and are a vegetable you can count on during the winter. They are rich in sulfuric compounds, particularly glucosinolates, that are believed to have antioxidant properties. They're also a very good source of potassium. When you can get them with the greens attached, they're a two-in-one crop, like beets, as their greens bring you a whole new set of nutrients - lots of calcium, vitamin K, vitamin A and beta carotene - and culinary possibilities. Turnip greens are similar in flavor to kale, perhaps a little more bitter, and with a more delicate texture. Winter turnips are not sweet and tender like young spring turnips. They stand up to longer cooking times, so they're perfect for soups, stews and gratins. But I found them equally welcome in a frittata and a stir-fry. This spicy, comforting couscous demands little in the way of prep time. It's the long simmer on the stove that results in the tasty broth. As it simmers, the sweet potato falls apart into small bits that tint the broth.
