Ingredients
  • 29.6 g quinoa
  • 313.9 g green cabbage
  • 456.1 g fresh baby spinach
  • 13.8 g canned coconut milk
  • 0.5 tsp mustard seeds
  • 0.25 tsp ground turmeric
  • 0.9 g coconut oil
  • 2.8 g salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 2.246 each large egg
Method
  1. 01In a small saucepan, bring 70 ml of water to a boil, stir in 35g dry quinoa, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 12-15 minutes until tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  2. 02Heat coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. 03Add the shredded green cabbage and a splash of water, sautéing until the cabbage begins to soften and wilt, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. 04Stir in ground turmeric, salt, black pepper, and full-fat canned coconut milk, bringing to a gentle simmer. Let the cabbage braise for 3 minutes until the liquid reduces into a creamy glaze.
  5. 05Fold in the fresh baby spinach and cooked quinoa, stirring until the spinach is just wilted and the quinoa is warmed through.
  6. 06Make three small wells in the vegetable and quinoa mixture. Crack the eggs directly into the wells.
  7. 07Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully opaque and set and the yolks reach a safe internal temperature of 160°F/71°C for soft eggs.
  8. 08Remove from heat immediately and serve piping hot straight from the skillet.
