Bean Bake with Greens and Turnips | Naturally Ella

Preparation 15 minutes Cook Time 25 minutes Serves 4 servings

An easy and beautiful bean bake featuring the buttery corona beans tossed with turnip or kale greens and topped with sliced turnips.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic
2 cups packed kale or turnip greens
2 cups cooked Corona beans (cannellini also work)
2 cups crushed tomato
1 teaspoon fresh minced rosemary
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 medium purple top turnips, thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Heat a medium, oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil to the pan, followed by the garlic. Cook the garlic until fragrant and golden; 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the greens, turn the heat to low, and cook until the greens just begins to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir the beans, crushed tomatoes, rosemary, salt, and pepper into the greens mixture. Create a layer of the thinly sliced turnips on top. Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tomato sauce is bubbling and the turnips are tender.

Recipe Notes

Tips & Tricks: The turnips still have a bit of texture to them. If you’re looking for completely tender turnips, I recommend slicing then steaming for a minute or two- just to take the crispness from the turnip.

Crystal healing is an alternative medical technique in which crystals and other stones are used to cure ailments and protect against disease. Proponents of this technique believe that crystals act as conduits for healing — allowing positive, healing energy to flow into the body as negative, disease-causing energy flows out.
But despite the fact that crystal healing has seen an upsurge in popularity in recent years, this alternative treatment is not popular with most medical doctors and scientists, many of whom refer to crystal healing as a pseudoscience. Scientifically speaking, there is no evidence that crystal healing can be used to cure diseases, because diseases have never been found to be the result of a so-called energy flow in the body. Furthermore, no scientific studies have shown that crystals and gems can be differentiated by chemical composition or color to treat a particular ailment.
Nevertheless, healing crystals remain popular at health spas and at New Age health clinics, sometimes incorporated into related practices of massage and Reiki. The use of crystals in such environments may help induce relaxation, although this effect is also not backed by scientific evidence.
