Red Quinoa Salad With Snow Peas, Spinach, Feta And Poached Egg
- For the salad
- 1/2 cup red quinoa
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 handful of snow peas
- 1 egg
- 1 handful baby spinach leaves
- 50 grams feta cheese
- Sea salt, to taste
- For the sauce
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1 pinch of cayenne pepper, to taste
- In a small pot, add the quinoa, a cup of water and a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to the minimum and cook, covered, for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa absorbs all water.
- Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan and saute the snow peas for 2 to 3 minutes on high heat. They should be slightly toasted but still have some texture.
- Put another small saucepan on the stove, add water and a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Break the egg into a bowl or cup and carefully pour it into the boiling water. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Mix all the ingredients for the sauce.
- On the serving plate, place cooked quinoa, sauteed peas, raw spinach and poached egg. Crumble the feta cheese on top and drizzle with the sauce. Serve right away.
