Sauteed Parsnips - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 -4 parsnips, thinly sliced (very thin)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon minced garlic (fresh or jar)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons butter

Preparation

Slice parsnips as thin as possible. Use a mandoline if you have one, on the thinnest setting.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add parsnips, garlic, spices, and salt. Saute on medium to low heat until parsnips become tender and transparent. The parsnips have a tendency to absorb the oil, so be prepared to add a little more if the parsnips begin to stick to the bottom. Do not cook too fast. You want them to get thoroughly cooked without getting burned.
When the parsnips begin to look done, add the butter and sugar. Continue to saute until slightly browned.
