Instructions:
Cook the Brown Rice:
Rinse the brown rice under cold water.
In a saucepan, combine the rice with water or vegetable broth and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30-35 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside. 🍚
Prepare the Jammy Eggs:
Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil.
Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon.
Boil the eggs for 6-7 minutes for jammy yolks.
While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with ice and water.
Once cooked, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
After they have cooled, peel the eggs carefully and set aside. 🥚
Make the Olive Vinaigrette:
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined and emulsified.
Adjust seasoning to taste. 🫒
Assemble the Bowls:
Divide the cooked brown rice equally among serving bowls.
Top each bowl with a handful of baby spinach or mixed greens.
Add sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced Kalamata olives.
Slice the jammy eggs in half and place them on top of the veggies.
Drizzle the olive vinaigrette over each bowl.
Sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs, crumbled cheese, and toasted seeds or nuts if using. 🌿
