Greens, Eggs + No Ham (Quinoa, Actually)

1 cup mixture of red, white + black quinoa

1 3/4 cup organic free-range chicken broth

2 cups water

1 cup beluga lentils

1 t cumin

1 t curry powder

1 t ground cinnamon

1 package pre-washed organic baby spinach

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 t red pepper flakes

2 T extra virgin olive oil + 1 T for drizzling

1 free range organic egg

ends of 2 green onions or small bunch of chives, finely sliced

sea salt + pepper for seasoning

Evenly mix 1 cup of red, black + white quinoa. Cover with water and let soak for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Bring a medium pot to medium-high heat and dry toast the quinoa stirring as needed for about 5 minutes or until fragrant. Cover with broth, add a pinch of salt and a small splash of olive oil. Bring to a boil, stir and reduce heat. Cover and let cook for about 15 minutes or until all moisture is absorbed and the quinoa is beautifully fluffy.

In another medium pot add lentils and water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a low simmer. Add cumin, curry and cinnamon. Let cook for about 20 minutes or until all moisture is absorbed and lentils are cooked through. Once both the quinoa and lentils are cooked mix together in a large bowl. Feel free to drizzle an extra T of olive oil if you desire more moisture.
