Instructions
Work Plan for Pegan Meal
Add the mushrooms in a deep pan of water so that all the grit is washed off.
Set the water+ salt to boil the eggs.
Rinse the quinoa and set aside. In a deep pan add water to boil this is for the quinoa.
Let us start chopping the veggies.
Chop 2 onions fine, set aside
Mince garlic fine , set aside
Drain and Cut the mushrooms into ½ or ¼ basically they have to be even sized.
Chop the broccoli
Peel the asparagus
By now the water for the eggs must be boiling. Put the egg in a ladle and lower it in the boiling water. I needed to boil 6beggs. Let them boil for 8-10 minutes for a hardboiled eggs. When cooled peel and set aside.
Add the quinoa and some salt to taste to the boiling water and mix well. Keep the flame on low and let the quinoa cook. The grains are cooked when you can see the Germ Check more about boiling quinoa in the link in the notes.
Add salt, garlic, some say about 3 tablespoon onions to the mushrooms, chilli powder and set aside.
Meanwhile, drain the eggs and in the same pan add the broccoli and a little water, salt and steam the broccoli.
In a sauce pan add the garlic, 1 teaspoon olive oil and roast till the raw smell goes away. Add the asparagus and sauté till done. Set aside.
In the same pan add the mushroom and sauté till mushrooms are done. Set aside
Add 1 tablespoon oil add the rest of the garlic and onions and sauté. Add the cooled quinoa and sauté. Set aside.
To assemble:
In a wide bowl add the lettuce leaves.
Add 1 -2 tblsp of sautéed quinoa, 1 tblsp mushrooms, the veggies, eggs and garnish with pumpkin seeds.
Serve immediately.
After all this, the bowl was over in a scant 10 minutes!
