Ingredients:

1/4 cup quinoa
45g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
6 cups broccoli
550g
4 slices ginger root
100g
2 cups spinach
60g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g
2 onions
30g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1 oz chia seeds
27g
2 eggs
110g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Quinoa:
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
- In a small pot, add the rinsed quinoa and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. Prepare the Broccoli:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for about 3 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced ginger and diced onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and the ginger is fragrant.
- Add the blanched broccoli and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
4. Season the Hash:
- Season the broccoli mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Stir in the cooked quinoa, lime juice, and soaked chia seeds. Mix well to combine.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped coriander leaves over the mixture and stir to incorporate. Keep the hash warm over low heat.
5. Fry the Eggs:
- In a non-stick pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the pan, being careful not to break the yolks. Fry until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. For firmer yolks, cover the pan with a lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
6. Assemble and Serve:
- Divide the broccoli hash evenly between two plates.
- Top each serving with a fried egg.
- Optionally, garnish with additional coriander leaves and a sprinkle of black pepper.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nourishing broccoli hash with fried egg!

Tips:

- Ensure your quinoa is cooked properly by rinsing it under cold water before boiling to remove its natural coating, which can taste bitter.

- For extra flavor, toast the quinoa in a dry pan for a few minutes before boiling it.

- Cut the broccoli into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly and remain tender-crisp.

- Heat the olive oil in the pan before adding the broccoli to help it cook faster and more evenly.

- Use fresh ginger root for the best flavor, and finely chop or grate it to distribute it evenly throughout the hash.

- Don't overcook the spinach; add it towards the end of the cooking process to keep it vibrant and nutrient-rich.

- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, and don’t be afraid to add more if needed.

- If you prefer a runnier yolk, cook the eggs sunny-side up or over-easy, but if you prefer a firmer yolk, cook them over-medium or over-hard.

- Chia seeds can be added towards the end to retain their crunch, or soaked in water beforehand if a softer texture is preferred.

- Garnish with more fresh coriander leaves or a squeeze of lime juice just before serving for a burst of freshness.
