Sauteed Turnips With Spinach And Raisins Food

SAUTéED GREENS WITH PINE NUTS AND RAISINS

Steps:

• Toast the pine nuts: Heat a large sauté pan hot on medium-high heat and add the pine nuts. Toast them until they are fragrant and begin to brown. Pay attention as pine nuts burn easily. Stir or toss the nuts frequently. Once they are toasted, remove from pan and set aside.
• Sauté the garlic in olive oil: Add the olive oil to the pan and swirl it around. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds; the pan should already be hot, so it won't take long for the garlic to begin to brown.
• Wilt the greens: Add the greens and mix well. Sauté, stirring often, until the greens wilt and begin to give up some of their water, anywhere from 1 to 2 minutes for spinach to 4 to 5 minutes for collards or kale.
• Add the nuts, raisins, salt, and red pepper flakes: Stir in the nuts and raisins, and sprinkle with salt and red pepper flakes.
• Add the white wine: Use a little more wine if you are cooking collards, and less if you are cooking spinach. Toss to combine and let the liquid boil away. Once the liquid boils off, remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

SAUTEED SPINACH WITH GOLDEN RAISINS

Steps:

• In a large (12-inch) skillet, warm olive oil. Cook spinach in three additions, letting the first batch wilt before adding the next and tossing often, until completely wilted, 3 to 4 minutes total.
• Stir in raisins. Season with salt and pepper.

SAUTEED TURNIPS WITH SPINACH AND RAISINS

Steps:

• In a skillet (with a lid), heat the olive oil and garlic over medium heat.
• While that heats, peel the turnips and chop them into thin strips, like tiny French fries.
• When oil is heated, add the turnips and raisins and saute for about 3 minutes.
• Pour in the lime juice and cover; let it cook for 5-10 more minutes, allowing turnips to soften.
• Meanwhile, wash and chop or tear up the spinach.
• After 5-10 minutes are up and turnips are tender, stir in the spinach and cook it until it just begins to wilt.
• Remove from heat and sprinkle with nutmeg.

SAUTEED SPINACH WITH GOLD RAISINS AND TOASTED PINE NUTS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the oil and heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until softened. Add the raisins and cook until warm, about 1 minute. Add the pine nuts, increase the heat, and add the sherry vinegar. Stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits that cling to the bottom of the pan. Add the butter and melt, then add the spinach and stir or toss with tongs until wilted. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

SAUTEED SPINACH

Steps:

• Remove the spinach stems. Tear the leaves into large pieces. Fill a large bowl with cold water and wash the spinach. Repeat 2 or 3 times until the spinach is thoroughly cleaned. Drain.
• In a large skillet, heat half the oil over medium heat, add the garlic and stir until it begins to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Remove the garlic and discard. Add the spinach in batches, stirring to wilt, before adding more. When all the spinach has been added, raise the heat to high, season with salt and pepper, and cook, covered, for 3 minutes. Drain the spinach in a colander. Return spinach to the skillet to heat through. Serve in a medium bowl, drizzled with the remaining oil and garnished with lemon wedges, if desired.

SAUTEED TURNIPS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• 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.
• 7. 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.

SPINACH WITH PINE NUTS AND RAISINS

Steps:

• Rinse the spinach well and remove the stems. Place in a large sauté pan with only the rinsing water clinging to the leaves.
