Joe Beef's Cider Turnips (and Kohlrabi)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb small white turnips about 6 if golf ball sized, halved lengthwise (or in quarters if they are larger)
  • all smaller/greener/nicer turnip leaves from the bunch finely chopped
  • 1 kohlrabi cut into 1 to 2 inch chunks to match the turnips
  • 2 tbsp canola oil or other cooking oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • sea salt to taste
  • freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 1 sage leaf torn (I used 1 tsp dried)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a skillet on medium high. Add turnips and kohlrabi, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, 4 to 5 minutes until tender and lightly browned. (If they are a bit bigger, add about ΒΌ cup water and cook a little longer until water evaporates and turnips are tender.)
  2. Add butter, maple syrup, vinegar and sage and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer until glazed and shiny. Add a few turnip leaves if using.
