Step by step recipe

• 1: Rise and dry 200 g turnip (or other vegetable) tops.
• 2: Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan on high heat, then add the leaves.
• 3: Stir gently until wilted.
• 4: Add 200 g Mushroom duxelles and mix well.
• 5: Add 250 ml liquid cream, salt, pepper and mix well.
  Bring to the boil, then turn the heat right down and leave uncovered to thicken gently.

• 7: Serve one steak per person plated up (on heated plates), with the creamed beetroot tops and mushrooms on the side.

Remarks

You can use any vegetable tops that would otherwise go to waste, but beetroot leaves have an amazing flavour, similar to spinach, so I encourage you to try them.
