A quick, easy and fresh way to prepare this root vegetable. Best if you can find small turnips with nice fresh greens still attached. This is a great side dish for fish or beef.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch small (japanese) turnips with their greens (about 1 lb) shopping list
- 1.5 tsp butter shopping list
- lemon juice to taste shopping list
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted until very dark and roughly ground with a good pinch of salt shopping list
- salt shopping list

How to make it
- Separate the greens from the turnips; wash the turnips and cut into quarters. Rinse the greens and slice horizontally into wide strips.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. When it starts to sizzle, add the turnips and sautee for about 3 minutes. Do not allow the turnips to brown.
- Add a small glass of water and cover the saucepan. Simmer the turnips until just tender, about 5 minutes.
