Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 120g quinoa
  • 80g red cabbage
  • 80g green beans
  • 2 tsp jerk seasoning
  • 80g pineapple
  • 15g lime
  • 15g spring onions
  • fresh thyme

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the red cabbage and green beans, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the quinoa and simmer in 2 parts water for 15 minutes until the tails appear, then fluff.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    Rub the protein in jerk seasoning and lime juice. Griddle the pineapple slices for 2 minutes each side until charred, then dice into a quick salsa with spring onion.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the red cabbage and green beans for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

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