Sautéed turnip tops (70 chars max)

Ingredients

  • 360 g Turnip tops
  • 2 garlic
  • 1 Cayenne pepper
  • to taste oil
  • to taste Salt

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Pan

Instructions

  1. 1

    To prepare the sautéed turnip tops, first clean the vegetables. Remove the toughest stems and outer leaves. Once cleaned, you will obtain about 360 g of turnip tops, wash them several times with cold water and drain them.

  2. 2

    Put a large pot of water on the fire and when it boils, pour in the turnip tops and let them cook for 15 minutes. When there are 2-3 minutes left, prepare a soffritto in a pan with oil, 2 whole cloves of garlic and a chili pepper cut into pieces. As soon as the turnip tops are well wilted, drain them.

  3. 3

    When the garlic is golden brown, add the turnip tops, season with salt and sauté over medium-high heat for about ten minutes. Turn off the heat and serve.

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust the salt according to the salt content of the preserves.

Turnip tops, with their crunch and subtle taste, make a perfect addition in this simple yet fragrant preparation. Let the oil and fresh ingredients speak for themselves, and savor each bite with pride.
