I made this as a dinner, but it could easily be served as a healthy breakfast or lunch option too! It’s full of good protein and healthy fat and more! It’s also easily altered to fit most dietary needs! Check out my tips and tricks below the recipe to see the many variations! You can even make this VEGAN!
Servings: 2
Prep +Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
Grain:
1 cup farro
1 1/3 cups water
Kale:
1 bunch green kale (rinsed, stems removed and leaves torn into bite sized pieces)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced (or pressed through a garlic press)
½ tablespoon olive oil
Chive Butter Sauce:
1 tablespoon chives, chopped (or, use ½ tablespoon chopped green onion)
2 tablespoons butter, melted (I used Earth Balance Vegan Butter)
¼ teaspoon salt
Eggs:
½ tablespoon oil
2 eggs
Avocado:
1 avocado
½ fresh lemon (or 1 tablespoon bottled lemon juice)
Optional: hemp seeds
How-to:
Bring the water to a boil (high heat) in a saucepan. Add the farro. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until soft. Remove from heat and drain any excess water. Set aside.
In a small bowl, melt the butter. Add the chopped chives and the salt. Stir until combined. Set aside.
Heat ½ tablespoon of oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Add the kale and garlic. Cook 3-5 minutes (stirring frequently), or until wilted. Cover and set aside.
Fry the eggs. Heat ¼ teaspoon of oil in a skillet on medium heat. Crack an egg into the skillet. Fry approximately 5 minutes, then flip. Cook an additional 3-5 minutes and remove from skillet. Repeat with the second egg. Set aside.
Slice the avocado. Place in a small bowl and squeeze the ½ lemon over it.
Assemble bowls: Divide the farro, kale and sliced avocado between two bowls. Top each bowl with one egg. Pour ½ of the melted chive butter over the contents of each bowl. Sprinkle with hemp seeds (if desired).
Eat and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks:
Instead of kale, try spinach
Instead of farro, try quinoa
MAKE IT VEGAN: Omit the eggs and add an additional sliced avocado
Omit the full egg and cook an egg white! My husband can’t have egg yolks, so he eats his bowl with a fried egg white.
Add chickpeas or your favorite bean!
