QUINOA****Roasted Tomatoes with Egg and Quinoa

By Unblond1

19/02/15 - This was great. I had it for dinner. I had a bit of leftover baby Bok Choy with garlic and chilies which I reheated in the frying pan after the quinoa and before the egg and served on the side.
27/02/15-Great again, as lunch. I added a small zucchini (sliced into half moons)to the tomatoes, which was very good. It made the mixture pretty watery though, so it had to be strained through a slotted spoon while serving.
24/08/15 - Served over a cup or so raw spinach/arugula blend. Spoon the quinoa in the middle and the tomatoes around the edge of the bowl and there's no need to dress the arugula

Preparation

Step 1

Turn on the broiler in the Breville oven. Toss the tomatoes with the basil, chili flakes and a pinch of Maldon salt and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and put them in an oven safe dish. Broil for 15-20 minutes or until slightly charred and the basil is crispy.

Reheat the quinoa in a non-stick frying pan on the stove over medium highish heat with a teaspoon of olive oil for 10 minutes or so, until hot. Place in a shallow bowl.

In a non-stick skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon of oil and cook the egg.

Place the egg over the quinoa and then spoon the tomatoes over top. Shave over the parmesan, the thyme or oregano and freshly ground black pepper and Maldon salt.
