Raw turnips have a pleasantly bitter bite like radishes, but sautéed they are delectably sweet.

　　

Ingredients

4 to 6 servings

　　1 1/2 tablespoons light olive oil

　　3 to 4 medium turnips, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, peeled and sliced into strips

　　2 medium red bell peppers, cut into short strips

　　2 to 3 tablespoons minced parsley, dill, or scallion

　　1 cup green sprouts (such as baby pea shoots), optional

　　Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

　　

Step 1

Heat the oil in a wide skillet. Add the turnips and bell peppers, and sauté over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp to your liking, about 8 minutes.

　　

Step 2

Stir in the herbs and optional sprouts, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.
