3ouncesfresh matsutake mushroomscleaned and trimmed, rinsed and dried if dirty

Kosher saltto taste
Instructions
Remove the greens from the turnips leaving ¼ inch of the green stem attached. Cut the top 1-2 inches of greens off, then slice the stems into ½ inch pieces. Cut the turnips in half if they're small or in ¼s if they're large. Slice the matsutake into ½ inch slices.
Heat the lard or oil in a pan, then add the turnips and matsutake and cook on medium high heat until caramelized and browned. When the mushrooms and turnips are tender, add the stems and leaves to wilt, season the mixture with salt to taste, then serve immediately.
Notes
Substitutions
There's something special about the small turnips and the mushrooms together. If you don't have access to hakurei turnips, instead of using another turnip, I would use some daikon radish as they have a similar mild flavor.
