If using dried chickpeas: soak them the night before. The next day, rinse them and cook them in water with a few bay leaves until tender; drain and set aside.
Rinse the quinoa well under cold running water.
Cook the quinoa in salted water (about 350 g of water for 160 g of quinoa) for 12–15 minutes until fully absorbed.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and set it aside.
Wash the turnip greens and separate the more tender parts.
Blanch the turnip greens for 3–4 minutes in salted water, then drain.
Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a pan.
Add the garlic powder and let it flavor briefly.
Add the capers and cooked chickpeas to the pan and let them flavor for a few minutes.
Add the turnip greens and sauté everything for a few more minutes so the flavors blend.
Add the quinoa to the pan, mix well, and adjust the salt. If desired, add chili pepper and grate a little lemon zest before serving.
