Method

Cook the sliced onion and pepper in the oil over a medium heat for ten minutes until soft, then add the garlic, cumin, paprika and chilli flakes for a minute.
Add the tomatoes and chickpeas with salt and simmer for ten minutes until the sauce is thick enough to hold a well.
Make four hollows, crack an egg into each, cover the pan and cook on a low heat for six to eight minutes until the whites are set and the yolks still move.
Crumble the feta over with the parsley.

Worth knowing

The chickpeas turn a breakfast dish into dinner: 8 g of the 29 g and enough bulk that bread is optional rather than required.
The lid matters. Without it the whites take twice as long and the yolks go hard before they are done.
