Turnips

Turnips with Raisins

1 tablespoon butter, divided
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
2 to 3 large turnips with greens
1/4 cup raisins or to taste

Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter and the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add
onions and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Wash and trim turnips and discard yellowed leaves. Chop turnip into 1-inch dice and roughly chop greens. Add diced turnips to onions, salt to taste, stir and cover. Cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Uncover, turn heat to heat and cook until turnips brown lightly, stirring occasionally. Add chopped greens and raisins and cook till greens are wilted, 3 or 4 minutes more. Add remaining butter and salt to taste.

Serves 2 as a side dish.
