Simple Sautéed Turnips

Adapted from allrecipes.com

Ingredients

• 3–4 small turnips
• 1 cup onion of any kind, chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Preparation

1. Sauté onions on medium-low in a skillet with half the butter.
2. Meanwhile, slice turnips as thinly as possible. Once the onion is just starting to soften, add turnips to the skillet with the rest of the butter. Cook for 5 minutes, reduce heat to low and cook until soft. Once done, season to taste.
3. Sprinkle with juice, toss to coat, and serve.

Serves 2–3. Prep time, 5 minutes; cook time, 15 minutes.

Cook’s note: Also try this recipe with other sliced root veggies and/or mushrooms. Fresh herbs, such as rosemary, add a lovely touch and try adding a couple of dashes of red wine. Or omit wine and herbs and try dried spices, such as curry and cinnamon or cumin and garlic.
