    Stir Fried Turnips with Greens

    From Jack Bishop’s A Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen. Serves 4.

    3/4 cup orange juice
    2 TB soy sauce
    3 medium green onions
    4 med garlic cloves
    1 TB minced ginger
    1/2 tsp hot red pepper flakes
    1 TB plus 1 tsp peanut oil
    1.5 lbs Turnips, cut into 3/4″ wedges or chunks
    5 cups packed turnip greens

    Combine orange juice and soy in measuring cup. Place scallions, garlic ginger, red pepper flakes in small bowl. Heat 1 TB oil in large skillet over med high heat until shimmering. Add turnips and stir fry until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Push turnips to edges of pan, spread garlic mixture in center of pan. Drizzle remaining 1 tsp oil over mixture and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir to combine with turnips. Add orange juice mixture to pan, cover and cook, until turnips are creamy and tender and liquid has reduced to a few tablespoons (2-3 minutes).
