Ingredients you'll need

  • 2 pointed red peppers
  • 400g tin of mixed beans
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tsp Spanish seasoning
  • A handful of sage, leaves only
  • 2 eggs
  • 120g feta
From your kitchen
  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • 100ml boiling water
  • Freshly ground pepper
You'll need
  • Medium pan with lid
  • Measuring jug
  • Frying pan with lid
  • Baking tray (optional)
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Roughly chop the tomatoes. Halve the peppers and scrape out the seeds and white pith. Roughly chop the peppers. Pop a medium pan on a medium-high heat and pour in ½ tbsp olive oil. Add the tomatoes and peppers to the pan with a pinch of salt and cook for 10 mins, stirring regularly, till the veg have softened.

  • 2.

    Meanwhile, drain and rinse the beans. Peel and grate or crush the garlic. Fill and boil your kettle.

  • 3.

    When the tomatoes and peppers have cooked for 10 mins, add the garlic and 2 tsp Spanish seasoning to the pan and stir for 1 min. Pour in 100ml hot water from the kettle. Add the mixed beans and stir. Pop a lid on the pan, turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 5 mins, stirring occasionally. If it looks like it's drying out, turn down the heat and add a splash more water.

  • 4.

    While the beans cook, warm a frying pan on a medium-high heat for 1 min. Pour in 1 tbsp olive oil then add the sage leaves. Crack in the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with a lid or baking tray. Fry for 2-3 mins till the egg whites are slightly crisp and the yolks are as set as you’d like.

  • 5.

    Divide the spicy beans between a couple of warm bowls. Top each with a crispy sage fried egg. Crumble over the feta and serve.
