4 cloves garlic, minced
4 bell peppers, seeds removed and cut into strips
2 large tomatoes, cored and diced

4 eggs

Method

  1. In a large frying pan, heat a glug of olive oil over medium heat
  2. Add the chili powder and briefly fry in the warm oil until fragrant
  3. Add the onion and garlic with a big pinch of salt and sweat until soft
  4. Add the peppers and tomato and cook until soft and stewy adding a splash of water if it starts to get dry
  5. When the peppers are soft, add the white beans and warm through
  6. Gently slip the egg in the tomato pepper stew and let cook until the whites are firm, about 6 minutes
