The Perfect Quinoa Bowl

Ingredients:

  • One large egg
  • Half of an avocado sliced
  • 4 Cherry tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 cup dry quinoa
  • 21/2 cups water
  • 2 Tbsp EVOO
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Begin by cooking the quinoa in one cup of water over high heat. Once boiling turn the heat down to a simmer and cover for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked through.
  2. While the quinoa is cooking prep your tomatoes and avocado and set aside.
  3. With ten minutes remaining on the quinoa, we’ll poach the egg. Bring a small saucepan with another cup and a half of water to almost a boil, (this should only take a few minutes) once you start to see small bubbles form at the bottom of the pan stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool and crack the egg into the center. Let the egg cook for 6 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon. Gently place the egg on a paper towel to dry.
  4. Once the quinoa has fully cooked add the EVOO and seasonings, then assemble your bowl with the egg, avocado, and tomato.
