  2. Add the chickpeas and harissa paste and cook for 2 minutes, or until warm and thoroughly coated, then add the spinach, diced tomatoes, and chilli flakes.

  3. Bring mixture to a simmer and create 4 small wells in the top of the mixture then carefully crack an egg into each well.

  4. Transfer skillet to oven and allow to cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the whites have set but the yolks are still runny.

  5. Remove from oven and sprinkle the eggs with sumac, drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and top with shaved parmesan. Enjoy immediately.

Hints & tips

Eggs - Following these instructions the yolks are runny and the whites are soft. If you prefer your eggs cooked a little more, add an extra minute or two in the oven. Be careful not to over cook!

Extras - This dish is already so tasty on its own. However, if you want to add a little more protein, try crispy bacon, fried chorizo or sausages on the side.

Serving suggestion - Serve with warm crusty bread and any added extras you like. See above

Portion size - Serves 2-4. If making for 4 people add a little extra on the side. See above.

Storage - Store in the fridge for 3 days. Chickpea mixture is suitable for freezing (not the eggs).
