Ingredients

  • 75g quinoa
  • 400g can black beans, drained
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced, plus extra wedges to serve
  • 1 tsp cider vinegar
  • 160g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small avocado, stoned, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander
  • 3 spring onions or ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • rapeseed oil, for frying
  • 2 medium eggs

Method

  1. Put the quinoa in a small pan with 250ml water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally until most of the water has been absorbed and the grains have doubled in size (if there’s any water left in the pan, drain well).

  2. Tip into a bowl and stir through the beans, spices, lime zest and juice and vinegar. Stir well, then add the tomatoes, avocado, coriander and onion, and spoon onto plates.

  3. Heat a drop of oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the eggs until the whites are set with a crispy edge and the yolk is runny. Serve the quinoa topped with the eggs.
