Poached egg with spicy rice

Method

• step 1

  Wash and drain the rice - this is very important. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions but cook in the stock rather than water.

• step 2

  Once the rice has cooked for 3 minutes, add the diced courgette to the stock and continue cooking.

• step 3

  Meanwhile make the dressing: in a small cup mix together the olive oil, harissa paste, chili flakes, soy sauce and tomato puree. Mix them thoroughly so that you have a good opaque liquid.

• step 4

  Fry the hallumi for around 1 minute on each side - you only need a little oil for this. While the hallumi is cooking, fill a small clean pan with boiling water. Stir it vigorously with a fork so you have a whirlpool affect and turn down the heat to a simmer. While still 'whirling' crack both eggs in and poach to your own liking.

• step 5

  Once the rice has cooked to how you like it, drain 3/4 of the liquid and reserve some if needed. Pour over the the dressing and place on a plate. Add the hallumi around the plate and place the poached eggs on top of the rice. Season with salt and pepper.
