serves 8

  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 T lemon zest
  • 2 T lemon juice
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
  • 4 c kale, trimmed and roughly chopped
  • 4 c collard greens, trimmed and roughly chopped
  • 4 c swiss chard, trimmed and roughly chopped

  • 1/2 c pecans toasted and chopped
  • 1 (8 ounces) package puff pastry thawed
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 t coarse salt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a large, nonstick, pan over medium high heat, heat oil.

Add onion and garlic; saute until softened.

Add zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper and mustard seeds; cook one minute.

Stir in leafy greens; cover and cook until softened, about 7 minutes.

Remove from heat; stir in pecans.

Roll pastry to 12 x 9 inch retangle, spread leafy green mixture along centre. Along one length of pastry, make diagonal cuts almost to filling, 1 inch apart; repeat on other side. Alternating strips, fold over filling to form braid, brushing with egg to secure. Brush entire top of strudel with egg; sprinkle with salt. Transfer strudel to parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake until pastry is golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
