One-Pan Poached Eggs With Harissa Chickpeas

Boil half a kettle

Peel and finely dice your brown onion[s]

Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thin strips

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Drain and rinse your chickpeas

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil

Once hot, add the diced onion and pepper strips and cook for 5-6 min or until softened

Once softened, add half your ground cumin and half the chopped garlic (you'll use the rest later!) and cook for 1-2 min or until fragrant

While the onion is softening, dissolve your vegetable stock mix in 150ml [195ml] [250ml] boiled water

Once fragrant, add your harissa paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and drained chickpeas with the vegetable stock and your chopped tomatoes and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 8-9 min or until thickened and slightly reduced

Meanwhile, chop your coriander finely, including the stalks

Cut your green chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop roughly

Crush your cardamom pod[s] open by squashing them with the side of a knife and discard the outer green pods

Add the cardamom seeds to a food processor with the chopped chilli (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!), white wine vinegar, the remaining ground cumin and half the chopped coriander (you'll use the rest later!) with 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil

Add half the remaining chopped garlic (you'll use the rest later!), season with a pinch of pepper and blitz until smooth – this is your chilli zhoug

Once the sauce has thickened, crack your egg[s] over the tomato sauce and cook, covered, for 4-5 min or until the eggs are cooked through – these are your one-pan poached eggs with harissa chickpeas

Combine the remaining chopped coriander with a generous knob of butter and the remaining chopped garlic and put in the microwave for 15-20 secs or until starting to melt – this is your garlic herb butter

Slice your ciabatta[s] in half and place in the toaster for 1-2 min or until toasted

Spread the garlic herb butter over the toasted ciabatta – this is your garlic herb ciabatta
