Turnips with Spinach, Hot Pepper and Garlic

Inspiration:
A recipe on our CSA's newsletter

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch turnips, tops removed, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch dice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 bunch spinach, trimmed, washed, and chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar to taste
  

Instructions:

1. Toss turnip cubes in colander with salt. Let stand 15 minutes, tossing occasionally. Pat dry turnip cubes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a very large skillet on moderately high heat. Add turnips and toss until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes.
3. Add garlic and chili flakes and sauté another minute or so.
   
4. Spread spinach over turnips, pressing down firmly. Cover and reduce head to low, cook 2 minutes. Toss, re-cover and cook until turnips are tender, 2 or 3 more minutes.
   
5. Transfer to a serving dish, add remaining oil and vinegar to taste. Serve.
   

Notes: This made enough for a side dish for 2-3 people. It's pretty tasty! I will be making this again the next time I get turnips from my CSA.
