Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and shallot and set aside for 10 minutes. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and honey and a pinch of salt and pepper; taste and adjust the seasoning if you’d like.
  • In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the quinoa, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in water and bring to a low boil. Cover and reduce heat to low and cook for 18 to 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Uncover, fluff the grains with a fork, and remove from heat. Cover and let to sit for 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, place the eggs in a saucepan and cover completely with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water has reached a boil, set a timer for 6 minutes, then drain the water. Fill the pot with lukewarm water and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine black beans, tomato, corn, cilantro, and avocado. Fold in cooked quinoa.
  • Peel the shell from the egg and cut in half.
  • Serve the quinoa bowl with egg and orange juice.
