Serves 4
Prep Time 20 min
Cook Time 8 min

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (375 mL) arugula
  • 4 radishes, sliced into thin circles
  • 2 small Persian cucumbers, sliced into thin circles
  • 4 tbsp (60 mL) extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • ½ a lemon, juiced
  • ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) black pepper, plus more to taste
  • ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) sumac
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 ¾ cups (690 mL) cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup (250 mL) labneh

Instructions

  • Step 1

    To prepare the salad: in a medium bowl, toss the arugula, radishes  and cucumbers with 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil, and the lemon juice, salt and pepper.

  • Step 2

    To prepare the sumac onions: in a small bowl, stir together the onions and sumac. Let sit until needed.

  • Step 3

    Fill a medium saucepan half full with water and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, use a spoon to gently place the eggs in the water. Gently boil for 6 minutes for soft boiled eggs, or 7 to 8 minutes for jammy eggs with set yolks. Remove the eggs from the water and place them in an ice bath for 1 minute. Drain, then gently crack the eggshells and peel the eggs.

  • Step 4

    To assemble the bowls, spoon the brown rice into each bowl. Add a generous dollop of labneh, then use a spoon to make an indent in the middle of each dollop. Drizzle with the remaining 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil. Divide the salad between the four bowls and top with the sumac onions. Place the soft boiled eggs on top and gently cut them in half. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired, and serve.
