Incredibly easy to make, super hearty and ready in 20 minutes. Made with canned beans and a buttery broth, topped with a runny egg for a creamy finishing touch. Serve with a thick slice of crusty bread to complete the meal!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 can (400g/14 oz) white beans , drained
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ¾ cup vegetable broth
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp dried coriander
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

For serving

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp crumbled feta
  • chopped chives
  • black sesame
  • chili flakes
  • 2 thick slices of sourdough bread

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and cook the shallot and garlic until soft. Add the beans, cumin, thyme and coriander. Season with salt and pepper, cook for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the vegetable broth, lemon juice and chopped parsley, simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In the meantime, prepare the poached eggs. Fill a saucepan with 1/3 water, add a good splash of vinegar and bring to a boil. Break each egg separately in a coffee cup. Turn down the heat and keep the water just below the boiling point.
  • Pour the first egg very carefully into the water, start pouring as soon as the cup touches the water. Repeat this with the second egg, and cook on a very low heat for 4 minutes. Carefully fish out the poached eggs with a slotted spoon, place on a plate lined with kitchen paper. Cut away any loose egg whites.
  • Transfer beans into bowls, serve with feta and poached eggs. Sprinkle with chives, sesame and chili flakes. Serve with a thick slice of sourdough bread. Enjoy!
