    How to Make Quinoa Egg Bowl

    1. Prepare the Dressing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, and kosher salt until well combined. Gradually whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil to create an emulsion. Stir in the grated Pecorino Toscano cheese and set aside.

    2. Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa and cook it in a large pot of boiling water, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 12 to 18 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

    3. Steam the Greens and Sugar Snap Peas

    Steam the chopped greens in a steamer basket over simmering water until tender but still vibrant, about 5 to 10 minutes. Steam the sugar snap peas until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

    4. Assemble and Serve

    In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa, steamed greens, and sugar snap peas. Add sliced soft-cooked eggs if desired, drizzle with dressing, and garnish with additional cheese, black pepper, and radish slices.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Broth for Quinoa

    Cook your quinoa in chicken or vegetable broth for added depth and umami.

    Quinoa Texture

    Use a 1:2 ratio of quinoa to liquid and let it sit covered after cooking for fluffy quinoa.

    Enhance with a Sauce

    Bind the flavors with a drizzle of sriracha mayo, tahini dressing, or balsamic reduction.

    Quinoa Rinsing

    Always rinse your quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove saponins, which can cause bitterness.

    Balancing Flavors

    Layer flavors with lemon or lime juice, or a dash of soy sauce for brightness and depth.
