This veggie side teams well with most meat and fish, or serve it with some grilled halloumi for vegetarians. Use whatever greens you get in your veg box. If it's summer greens or cabbage, wilt them in the pan with the turnips. If it's spinach or chard, it's best to strip off the stalks and blanch the leaves in boiling water first, to avoid any excess liquid in your dish. Boil for 1 minute for spinach, 2 for chard, then refresh in cold water, drain, squeeze out any excess moisture and roughly chop the leaves before adding to the dish just to warm through before serving.
