Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 cup chopped spinach or whole baby spinach to make it even quicker
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 2 poached or fried eggs optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat cooking oil of choice (I used avocado oil) in a medium sized saucepan (with a lid) over medium heat. When hot, add in the chopped garlic. Cook until fragrant
- Add in the chopped spinach and lemon zest, pop on the lid and leave for 2-3 minutes, until the spinach has wilted
- Add in the cooked quinoa and stir to combine. Cook until just heated through and remove from the heat (I added in about a tablespoon of olive oil here to keep things from drying out)
- Serve up, salt and pepper to taste, and add a perfectly poached or fried egg to the top. Enjoy
