Gebratene Steckrüben mit Zwiebeln und Spinat

Zutaten

• 1 pound turnips
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter ((or more olive oil))
• 1 sprig lemon thyme ((or regular))
• 2 tbsp scallions
• 1 cup fresh spinach (loosely packed)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Peel turnips and cut into quarters or into sixths, if large.

2. 2

   Place a large frying pan over medium heat. When hot add the olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Add the turnips when the oil shimmers.

3. 3

   Cook the turnips until browned on one side. Turn them over and add scallions and thyme to the pan. The turnips are ready when a fork piercing the thickest part slides easily through.

4. 4

   Add the spinach and butter to the pan, sautéing until the spinach wilts. Remove the thyme sprig.

5. 5

   Season with salt and pepper, taste to adjust seasoning, and serve.
