Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ medium brown onion, thinly sliced
- ½ large red capsicum, deseeded and thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- ½ tsp sweet paprika
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- pinch of dried chilli flakes, to taste
- 1 x 400g can diced tomatoes
- 100g tinned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 50g low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
- small handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices sourdough bread, to serve
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
2. Heat the oil in a non-stick fry pan over medium heat. Add the onion and capsicum and cook for 3-4 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, paprika, coriander, cumin and chilli flakes and cook for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add the tomatoes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chickpeas, stir to combine and continue to simmer for a further 4-5 minutes.
4. Stir through the feta and half the chopped parsley. Remove from the heat.
5. Divide the tomato mixture evenly into two ovenproof ramekins and place them on a baking tray. Using the back of a spoon, make a large indent in the tomato mixture and gently crack an egg into each indentation. Season the eggs with salt and pepper, if desired.
6. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
7. To serve, sprinkle over the remaining parsley and with toasted sourdough bread on the side. Enjoy!
