2/3 c Quinoa
1 1/3 c Water
1/2 ts Salt
1 md Turnip
1 cl Garlic
4 Scallions
2 oz Green beans
1 c Butternut squash -- 1/3" cubes
In a sieve rinse quinoa under cold running water until water runs
clear.
In a small saucepan bring water to a boil with quinoa and salt and
simmer mixture, covered, over moderately low heat until just cooked

spread out on a plate to cool.
Peel turnip and cut into 1/3" cubes. Mince garlic. Slice scallions
thin on the diagonal and cut beans into 1/3" pieces.
In a steamer set over 1 inch boiling water combine squash, turnip,
and garlic and steam vegetables, covered, 7 minutes, or until almost
tender. Add beans, quinoa, and salt and pepper to taste and steam
3 minutes, or until beans are crisp-tender. Transfer mixture to a
bowl and toss with scallions.
