Grain bowl with egg and greens
A bowl of three whole grains already seasoned with turmeric and spice gets topped with a fried egg and quick-cooked greens to make a warm, protein-rich dinner. The grain medley does most of the work here, so you spend ten minutes on greens and an egg.

To buy
- 4 ounces fresh spinach or leafy greens
- 1 small onion
From your shelf
- 1 package Whole grain brown rice, whole grain red jasmine rice and whole grain black barle
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 eggs
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Warm the grain package in a small pot over medium heat or in the microwave according to package directions; stir once halfway through to heat evenly. While it warms, slice 1 small onion into thin half-moons and chop 4 ounces of fresh greens roughly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until it softens and starts to brown, about four minutes; you'll know it's ready when the edges turn golden.
- Add the chopped greens to the pan and stir until they wilt, about two minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl while you finish the eggs.
- Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Crack 2 eggs into the pan and fry until the whites set and the yolks stay runny or cook to your liking, about three to four minutes.
- Divide the warmed grain between two bowls, top each with half the greens and onion, then slide one fried egg on top. Season the egg with salt and pepper and serve at once.
Note Swap the greens for any quick-cooking vegetable like shredded carrots or thinly sliced cabbage. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for two days; reheat the grain and greens separately, then top with a fresh egg or cold. Serve with hot sauce or a squeeze of lemon.
