Garlic Turnips with Greens

There are many ways to eat a turnip and their greens, but this is my easy favorite. It involves blanching the greens and then sauteing the roots and greens together in butter. Tasty!

Ingredients:
1 bunch turnips with greens
2 tablespoon of butter
2 cloves garlic
salt and pepper

Procedure:
1. Heat a pot of water (large enough to submerge all the greens) to boiling.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the turnips by separating the greens and root, slicing the root into thin half-moon slices and roughly chopping the greens before soaking them in water and draining, repeat until they are free of dirt. Mince the garlic.
3. When the water is boiling, add a couple pinches of salt then the turnip roots. Boil for 1-2 minutes until they turn bright green in color and become tender. Strain immediately and rinse in cold water to prevent further cooking.
4. Heat a saute pan on medium heat. Add butter and garlic, and then the turnip slices. Cook until almost tender and then add another tablespoon of butter and the greens.
5. Salt and Pepper to taste.
