Bowls are IN – and somehow (not sure why!) but there is something more appealing about healthy food in a bowl than on a plate ?

And the great thing about bowls is that as long as there is variety – and colour – you can vary the theme each time, so it never gets boring! You can use any grain as a base, plenty of herbs, throw in a few beans and pop a poached egg on top for extra protein.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of tri-colour quinoa
• 1 cup of frozen peas (this ratio of quinoa and peas will make enough for around 4 bowls)
• Spring of mint leaves
• 1 block of halloumi cheese
• 1 avocado
• 1 egg – for topping
• Slice of lemon to garnish

Method:

• Bring 2.5 cups of water to the boil in a saucepan, then add the 2 cups of quinoa, cover the pan and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
• After 5 minutes add the peas to the quinoa
• While the quinoa is cooking slice halloumi and fry until golden on both sides.
• Chops the mint and smash the avocado
• Poach the egg
• Drain the quinoa and peas.

Then have fun building your bowl! You can also add sauerkraut, vegies and herbs to taste – enjoy!
