Delicious combination of turnips, oranges, and hazelnuts.
Ingredients

• 1/4 c. pitted kalamata olives
• 1 navel orange
• 1/4 c. fresh orange juice
• 2 lb. young turnips and their greens
• 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 c. water
• salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 2 oz. baby spinach
• 2 tbsp. chopped hazelnuts ​

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a mini food processor, puree the olives; transfer to a bowl. Using a sharp knife, peel the orange, removing all of the bitter white pith. Working over another bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the sections.
2. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the turnips with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Roast for 20 minutes, until almost tender.
3. Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the water and turnip greens, cover, and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the greens are just tender, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Pour the orange juice over the turnips. Roast for 5 minutes longer, until the turnips are tender and glazed; season with salt.
5. Add the spinach to the greens; toss until wilted. Drizzle the pureed olives onto a platter. Top with the turnips, greens, orange sections, and hazelnuts. Serve hot or warm.
