Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups reduced fat milk
- 1 tablespoon plain flour
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 425g tin tuna in spring water
- zest of 1 lemon, plus lemon cut into quarters to serve
- 2 cups (185g) broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
- 200g spinach leaves
- 2 x 250g microwavable packets cooked brown rice
Method
- Bring a small saucepan of water to boil and gently add the eggs. Cook for 7-8 minutes to hard boil. Remove from the heat and drain the water.
- While the eggs are cooking, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent.
- Drain the tinned tuna, reserving the spring water. Mix the spring water and milk together in a jug.
- Stir the flour and curry powder into the sautéed onion. Pour in a quarter of the milk mixture, whisking to remove any lumps and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Stir in the remaining milk mixture, then stir in the lemon zest and tuna and mix well.
- Place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water and cook on high for 2-3 minutes or until tender but still crunchy. Alternatively, you can steam over a pan of simmering water on the stovetop.
- Meanwhile, peel the eggs and slice. Fold the spinach into the curry. Cook for a minute or two until the spinach has wilted.
- Heat the brown rice pouches in the microwave for 90 seconds or according to packet instructions.
- Divide the brown rice between bowls, top with the tuna curry and the sliced eggs. Serve with the steamed broccoli and lemon wedges on the side.
