POTATO TART WITH MUSTARD GREENS AND LEMON THYME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 10-inch tart pan with the whole wheat phyllo dough. Leave a 1/2-inch overhang and trim any excess. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with the buttermilk and season with salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan, heat the canola oil over medium heat and add the onions. Cook the onions for 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the mustard greens to the pan and cook for 5 minutes or until they are wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Shingle half the potato slices on the bottom of the phyllo-lined tart pan. Sprinkle with half of the mustard greens. Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes and mustard greens. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, and skim milk for 1 minute or until combined. Add the lemon thyme and season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Drop teaspoons of the goat cheese around the tart. Bake the tart for 45 to 60 minutes or until it is just set and the potatoes are cooked. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes before cutting. Cut the tart into 6 pieces and place on a serving plate.

PAN-ROASTED TURNIPS WITH GREENS

• Remove the greens from the turnips and reserve. Peel and cut the bulbs into 1/4-inch wedges. Remove and wash the tender leaves from the stems of the turnip greens. Chop the leaves and set aside.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed large skillet over medium heat. Add the turnip wedges and sprinkle with salt and pepper, stirring to coat with the butter and oil. Cook, stirring and flipping occasionally, until they are caramelized and tender, about 5 minutes per side. Add the honey, vinegar and pomegranate seeds, then cook until the mixture is combined and syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the turnip leaves and saute until they are wilted and darken in color, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.

TANGLE OF BITTER GREENS

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and slightly damp ribbons of greens; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the greens are bright green and slightly wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
• garlic paste
• To prepare garlic paste, place the broad side of an unpeeled clove of garlic on a clean work surface and give it a whack with the flat side of a chef's knife. Remove the papery skin and trim away the tough basal plane at the top of the clove. Halve the garlic lengthwise and remove any of the green shoot, if present, as it is bitter. Coarsely chop the garlic, then sprinkle it with coarse salt. (The salt acts as an abrasive and helps chop the garlic.) Then, using the flat side of a chef's knife like an artist's palette knife, press firmly on the garlic, crushing a little at a time. Repeat until the garlic is a fine paste.
