Turnips with Carrots and Green Garlic, Garlic Scapes and Bacon

from Cook With What You Have

Dice turnips (no need to ever peel these) and carrots (don’t peel either, just scrub) in more or less the same quantity. Chop 4-5 garlic scapes. Dice 1-2 slices bacon or use a bit of bacon fat. Add everything to a large skillet (you’ll need to use 1 tablespoon or so of olive oil or butter if you don’t have bacon or bacon fat) and cook gently for about 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Optional- add cut turnip greens at end and lightly wilt.  Season with salt and a squeeze or two of lemon juice.
