Category:Ingredients
- 1/2 cup quinoa, cooked
- 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
- 1 spring onion, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 leaves kale, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup spinach, roughly chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- 1 handful cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1 pinch chilli flakes (optional)
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Fill a small pot or saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, using a slotted spoon, gently lower eggs into the water one at a time. (Be careful not to drop them in as they will rack.) Reduce the heat to medium and cook the eggs for 5 minutes for a very runny yolk or up to 7 minutes for a barely-set yolk. Once cooked, remove the eggs from the pot, transfer them directly to a bowl of cold water until they are cool enough to handle.
- In a large pan on medium-high heat, warm the butter or oil.
- Add onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minute until tender. Add kale leaves and spinach, cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until greens are bright in colour.
- Once the greens are cooked, add the cooked quinoa to the pan, stir to combine with the cooked vegetables and heat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the quinoa is warm. Set aside.
- Once the eggs have cooled, remove them from the cold water, crack them gently to break the shell and peel.
- Transfer the quinoa and vegetable mixture to a bowl, add soft-boiled eggs and top with a sprinkle of chilli flakes, cilantro, salt, pepper and sliced avocado to serve.
