tonight m and i were going to have a quick dinner with bbq'd burgers but i remembered that i had some puff pastry in the fridge that needed to get used up. so, i made an (almost) equally quick puff pastry tart. i can't recall if i've ever tried turnip greens before, but i'm going to go ahead and tell you that i haven't. (because if i did, they certainly weren't memorable!)
there's no way i'll forget about them now. they were the star of the show. i gave them a rough chop and sauteed them with garlic and they were SO good... tender and a little peppery, almost like arugula. they were SO good in fact, that i had to add more to the pan after got a bit carried away with the sampling! :)

turnip greens & fennel puff pastry tart
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch of turnip greens, chopped
1/2 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1/4 onion, shaved
1/4 cup mozzerella daiya
1 sheet of puff pastry
sea salt & pepper
preheat your oven to 375. heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a small pan. add the garlic & turnip greens and saute for a few minutes until tender (about 3 or 4 minutes). season with sea salt & pepper, move to another dish and return the pan to heat. add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the sliced fennel. saute the fennel for a few minutes until browned and remove from the heat.
roll out the vegan puff pastry on a floured surface and transfer it to a cookie sheet lined with either a silpat or parchment paper. sprinkle with daiya and top with the onions, fennel & turnip greens. place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until puff pastry is flaky and just starting to brown. remove, slice & serve. enjoy alongside a salad for a light dinner, or cut into bite-sized pieces for an appetizer.
