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.

  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.
