Method

  1. Heat a large sauté pan until medium hot. Add the oil, peppers, garlic and spices and cook for 2-3 minutes over a gentle heat until the peppers have just softened.

  2. Add the tinned tomatoes, chick peas and cannellini beans and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 5 minutes until just thickened and the peppers tender.

  3. Season with plenty of black pepper, then make 4 hollows in the tomato mixture. Crack an egg into each one, then cover with a lid and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the eggs have cooked.

  4. Meanwhile, lightly toast the bread and divide between serving plates.

  5. Scatter the coriander over the shakshuka and serve with the toast alongside.
