Ingredients

75g quinoa
400g can black beans , drained
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
1 lime , zested and juiced, plus extra wedges to serve
1 tsp cider vinegar
160g cherry tomatoes , halved
1 small avocado , stoned, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander
3 spring onions or ½ small red onion, finely chopped
rapeseed oil , for frying
2 medium eggs

Steps:

Put the quinoa in a small pan with 250ml water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally until most of the water has been absorbed and the grains have doubled in size (if there's any water left in the pan, drain well).
Tip into a bowl and stir through the beans, spices, lime zest and juice and vinegar. Stir well, then add the tomatoes, avocado, coriander and onion, and spoon onto plates.
Heat a drop of oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the eggs until the whites are set with a crispy edge and the yolk is runny. Serve the quinoa topped with the eggs.
