If making this with already cooked beans or a pressure cooker, this dish comes together fairly quickly.
1. Start with the beans if cooking from scratch.
2. Saute the fennel & turnips for a few minutes.
3. Put together the quinoa to simmer.
4. Finish braising the vegetables, toss with the beans and serve on top of the Blood Orange Quinoa.
Late winter to early spring brings turnips & fennel which become sweeter and tender through the braising process. This recipe starts with dry beans, but if you have a can, they are already cooked, or you have a pressure cooker that will mean dinner is ready in less than 30 minutes. Leftovers are perfect in this Fennel, Turnip & White Bean Spread.
Cook quinoa up in a bath of water and orange juice to give a tangy, citrus undertone. When done, toss in segments of oranges for even more delight. While blood oranges add a unique flavor, most any other orange will work too if you cannot find this rosy variety.
