Ingredients For sauteed turnips with herbs

  • 1 oz
    olive oil
  • 1 md
    onions, yellow or white
  • 1 pkg
    mushrooms, fresh, any
  • 2 - 3 md
    turnips, no greens
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • several pinch
    herbs of choice
  • 1 or 2 dash
    red wine
  • 1 Tbsp
    butter

How To Make sauteed turnips with herbs

  • 1
    Heat olive oil in medium saute pan over medium to medium-low heat.
  • 2
    Slice onions, turnips, and mushrooms thinly (1/4 inch or so) and add to pan. Cover and stir occasionally.
  • 3
    When all the veggies are mostly cooked and tender, add salt, pepper, herbs, and a splash of red wine. Stir and return cover.
  • 4
    In a separate dish, blend butter and flour. I have found this easier on a small plate with a fork. This is a French technique with a fancy name for thickening sauces.
  • 5
    Turn heat to low and add butter-flour mixture, stirring gently until well blended.
  • 6
    I like to serve over rice or chicken.
  • 7
    Variations: add finely chopped bacon or pancetta, brown in pan before adding sliced veg. Turnips can be omitted for a great sauce over meat. Omit red wine and add spices like curry, cinnamon, and garam masala for Indian flair, or cumin, garlic, and adobo for a Latin touch.
