Method

8 steps · 45 min

01
Heat the oil
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. If you have a pan that can go straight to the table, this is a good time to use it.
02
Bloom spices, add garlic
Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sputter for a few seconds until fragrant. Then toss in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until it smells aromatic but hasn't started to brown.
03
Cook the chorizo
Stir in the chorizo sausage and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, letting it render some of its fat and start to crisp.
04
Sauté vegetables
Add the chopped onion and pepper to the pan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and turn translucent.
05
Simmer the sauce
Pour in the canned tomatoes, along with most of the chopped thyme and coriander (save a little for garnish later). Stir in the paprika and season with salt. If the sauce looks too thick or starts to dry out, add a splash of water.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
06
Poach the eggs
Make three small wells in the simmering tomato sauce and gently crack an egg into each one. Cover the pan again and let the eggs poach over a low flame until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5 to 8 minutes depending on how firm you like them.
07
Finish with herbs and feta
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, sprinkle over the reserved coriander and thyme. Crumble the feta cheese directly into the pan. Let it warm through for a couple of minutes, just until the feta starts to soften slightly.
08
Serve
Serve the pan straight to the table, with plenty of crusty bread on the side for dipping into the rich sauce and runny yolks.
