What you will need

  • 150 g Quinoa
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 handful spinach (you can also use something like kale for example)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 chili
  • 100 g cherry tomatoes
  • 100 g mushrooms
  • 2 tsp honey

For the green Tahini Sauce

  • 2 tbsp Tahini
  • 2 tbsp plant based yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp chopped Parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped basil
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp chopped mint

How to

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Add the tomatoes and halfed mushrooms to a baking tray. drizzle with the honey, some olive oil and sea salt. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

  2. In the meantime add the quinoa to a pot along with 300ml water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the liquid is soaked up and the quinoa is fluffy.

  3. In a pan heat up the olive oil. finely slice the garlic clove. Cut the chili in half and remove the seeds. Slice the rest into thin slices too. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and chili and fry for 1 minute. Add the greens (that have been chopped into bite sized pieces before) and let cook on medium high heat for 5-8 minutes.

  4. For the poached egg bring a large, flat pot with water to a boil then reduce the heat so a slight simmers. Add a generous splash of vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, but be careful not to break the yolk. Take a wooden spoon and create a swirl in the water and carefully slide the egg in. Then we let it sit for a bit before repeating it with the next one! Let each one in the water for about 3-4 minutes, then take out and let the excess water drip off on some kitchen paper.

  5. Blend all the ingredients for the Tahini sauce in a blender.

  6. To assemble the bowls add the quinoa, greens and veggies to each one. Top with the eggs and finish off with the green sauce. Enjoy!
