POACHED EGG BUDDHA BOWLS
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 c. wheat berries
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. thinly sliced fresh mint leaves
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/2 c. quartered cherry tomatoes
1/2 c. reduced-fat ricotta cheese
2 tbsp. sliced Greek olives
2 large eggs
Optional: Additional olive oil and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Place wheat berries and 2-1/2 cups water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until tender, about 1 hour. Drain; transfer to a bowl. Cool slightly.
Stir in oil, lemon juice, mint, salt and pepper; divide between 2 bowls. Top with tomatoes, ricotta cheese and olives.
To poach each egg, place 1/2 cup water in a small microwave-safe bowl or glass measuring cup. Break an egg into water.
Microwave, covered, on high 1 minute. Cook in 10-second intervals until white is set and yolk begins to thicken; let stand 1 minute.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer an egg to each of the bowls. Repeat. If desired, drizzle with additional oil and sprinkle with more pepper.
