Eggs are better with carbs, and they’re particularly good with grains like rice, farro and quinoa, which can soak up a runny yolk. The herby-green grains here, from my cookbook, “Cook90,” are good for more than just breakfast, though — you could pair them with sautéed fish, skin-on chicken breasts and almost any roasted vegetable.
The herby-oily green sauce, a mint and parsley sauce that starts by roasting an entire head of garlic, lasts at least a week in the fridge and sometimes up to three; I top it off with a little olive oil each time I use it to create a seal.
To make a big batch of this recipe and eat from it all week, simply stir the herb sauce into a pot of grains while still warm; start with 2 tablespoons of sauce for every cup of cooked grain, and go up from there.
