Ingredients:
1 ½ cup (280g) cooked quinoa
1 tbsp. coconut oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 medium zucchinis, spiralized
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tsp. oregano or mixed herbs
2 medium poached eggs
Chili flakes, to taste

Directions

Divide the cooked quinoa onto two plates, creating a base for your zoodle bowl.
Heat half the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the crushed garlic for 1-2 minutes, then add the spiralized zucchini noodles (zoodles). Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Towards the end, season with salt, pepper, and oregano (or mixed herbs). Once ready, place the zoodles on top of the quinoa.
In the same pan, heat the remaining coconut oil and sauté the cherry tomatoes for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Add them to the quinoa and zoodles mixture.
To serve, top with poached eggs, then sprinkle with chili flakes and a touch of freshly ground black pepper for that extra kick.
