1 cup cooked quinoa
1 eggplant
5 radishes, sliced
1 bunch kale, stems removed
Fresh blueberries
2 soft boiled eggs
za’atar

 

Optional

Hummus
Toasted pumpkin seeds
Extra virgin olive oil
Garlic Expressions dressing

 

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Slice eggplant into cubes and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper and place on a baking sheet.  Bake for 35-40 minutes until the flesh is golden brown.
  • Place eggs in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil.  Once the pot starts boiling, remove from heat and let sit for 5-6 minutes (for hard boiled eggs, let them sit for 12 minute).  Remove from pot and place in ice cold bowl for a couple minutes.
  • Arrange Kale, quinoa, radishes, eggplant, and blueberries in a bowl.  Sprinkle a little za’atar over the eggs to taste.
  • You may add a dollop of hummus or drizzle some dressing over the top.
