Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 150g brown rice
  • 80g courgette
  • 80g red pepper
  • 50g salsa
  • 50g red onion
  • 15g lime
  • 2 tsp fajita seasoning
  • fresh coriander

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the courgette and peppers, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the brown rice in plenty of water for 25 minutes until tender, then drain.

  3. 3

    Lower the eggs into boiling water and cook for 6½ minutes, then cool in cold water and peel.

  4. 4

    Toss the protein and onion in fajita seasoning and cook over high heat until charred. Finish with lime juice and spoon salsa over the top.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the courgette and peppers for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: brown rice first, then the veg and soft-boiled egg, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander.
