Method

  1. Simmer the rice with the thyme and celery for 20 mins until tender. Meanwhile, boil the eggs for 7 mins, then cool in cold water and carefully peel off the shell.

  2. Drain the rice and tip into a bowl. Add the bouillon, lemon zest and juice, and red onion, then stir well and scatter over the parsley and pomegranate. Spoon onto plates or into lunchboxes, then halve or quarter the eggs and arrange on top.
