Ingredients:
10 cups turnip greens or 10 cups beet leaves or 10 cups savoy spinach, bottom stems trimmed
kosher salt
2 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 ounces country ham or 4 ounces prosciutto, torn into pieces
1 apple, quartered cored and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons buttermilk
black peppercorns, coarsely cracked
Directions:
1. Gently rub greens with 2 tablespoons of salt; let stand in a large bowluntil they begin to release water and soften, about 15 minutes.
2. Rinse twice in cold water, squeeze dry and then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
3. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees F; line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
4. Toss squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil on the prepared sheet; season with salt.
5. Roast squash, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes; let cool.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a medium skillet, over medium high heat; cook ham, in batches, until crisp, about 1 or 2 minutes per side; transfer to paper towels to drain.
7. Combine greens with squash, apple, shallot, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons olive oil; toss to combine and season with salt.
8. Divide among serving plates, drizzle with buttermilk, arrange ham over top, and season with crack black pepper.
