Ingredients
Sweet Potato Hash
1sweet potato- large, shredded
2Tablespoonsghee, grapeseed or olive oil- melt ghee in microwave or oven on the baking pan
Preheat oven to 425°F. Add the sweet potato seasonings to a small bowl.
Meanwhile, rinse and drain one cup of quinoa thoroughly in cold water. In a 1 1/2 quart saucepan, place 1 cup in 2 cups of water or (for added flavor) vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer, cover, and cook until all the water is absorbed, about 10 - 15 minutes. When finished, the grains will appear soft and rings will form around the edges. Let cool, then add the lime juice and garlic powder.
Manually or with a food processor, grate the sweet potato. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl. If using ghee, put 2 tablespoons in a small bowl, melt in the microwave or oven. Drizzle oil or ghee and sprinkle the seasoning mix over the sweet potato hash and stir to coat.
On the largest baking sheet, spread the sweet potato hash out and across, giving as much room as possible. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. To crisp the sweet potatoes, turn oven to broil. Watch carefully so the hash doesn't burn, stir maybe twice.
Remove from oven and let the hash crisp further on the pan.
Poaching Egg
See the notes for Lisa's video on poaching the perfect egg.
Assembling Bowl
Quinoa. Sweet potato hash. Pea shoots. Avocado. Assemble any way you wish, then garnish with sunflower seeds. Other garnish ideas: hot sauce, paprika, sesame seeds (which I meant for the picture - black sesame seeds!), hemp hearts, chia seeds, tahini or ginger dressing, oh my... the list is endless and exciting!
Notes
The quinoa and sweet potato hash can be made the cooking day or in advance, then assembled
Bowl size varies from person to person.
For balance of ingredients, may I suggest:
1/4 cup quinoa, 1/2 cup sweet potato, one poached egg, pea shoots, and sunflower seeds or 1/2 cup quinoa, 3/4 cup sweet potato, two poached eggs, pea shoots, and sunflower seeds
For a Vegan Option
Omit the egg.
If omitting the egg, the bowl will probably be a bit dry. May I suggest hot sauce, or an extra drizzle of oil and a squeeze of lime in place of the egg yolk.
