Preparation

  1. What you need

    • Select the number of serves you require for this recipe, and the quantity of ingredients will be automatically adjusted accordingly.

  2. Poached Eggs

    • Add the white wine vinegar to a pan of simmering water, around 5 cm deep.
    • Crack eggs into a cup or ladle. Create a whirlpool in the water and gently drop in the eggs.
    • Poach eggs for around 3 minutes until just firm and yolks still runny.
    • Remove the eggs using a spider or slotted spoon. Drain and keep warm.

  3. Sweet Potato Quinoa Patties

    • Steam the sweet potatoes until softened, then mash until smooth.
    • Combine with the quinoa, thyme, egg, and plain flour. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.
    • Form into small patties (20 portions per 10 serves), then cover and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
    • Shallow fry the patties until golden brown and cooked through. Drain.

  4. Chilli Oil Hollandaise

    • In a pan, gently warm up the KNORR Hollandaise Sauce.
    • Stir through the spicy chilli crisp in oil until well combined.
    • Cover and keep warm.

  5. Fried Mushrooms

    • Toss together the olive oil, crushed garlic, and sliced portobello. Season.
    • Heat a little extra oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms until golden.
    • Remove from heat and keep warm.

  6. To Assemble and Serve

    • Plate the fried patties and top with fried mushrooms, two poached eggs, and a spoonful of chilli oil hollandaise.
    • Drizzle with a little extra spicy chilli crisp in oil. Serve with grilled asparagus and roasted tomatoes.
