Turnips and Kohlrabi with Greens and Raisins

This got rave reviews from the hubby, but each of the kids had a different complaint. One left behind the raisins, another the turnips/kohlrabi and another the greens! I thought it was good.

Cut 5 turnips and 2 kohlrabi (all peeled) into matchsticks.
Coarsley chop the greens from these vegetables along with spinach. Ratio of one green to the other depending on your tastes.

Saute the turnips and kohlrabi with a little olive oil and a few crushed garlic cloves. About 2 min. Add a handful of raisins. Add 3 tablespoons lemon juice, cover and simmer for another 3 min. Add greens and saute just til wilted. Salt and pepper to taste and throw in a dash of nutmeg.

I served this with a garlic butter pastured chicken that had been cooking all day in the crockpot.
