Method
- Mist a medium frying pan with cooking spray. Fry the onion with the fennel seeds and cumin seeds over a medium heat until the onion is soft – about 10 minutes. Add a splash of water if it starts to get too dry.
- Add the garlic and chilli, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Toss in the ground spices and peppers, frying until the peppers are just soft. Stir in the zest and tomatoes; simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the beans and spinach, and season to taste. Bring to the boil for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat. Create four wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each. Cook for 5 minutes, uncovered, and then 2 minutes, covered, until the whites of the eggs are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Serve topped with the crumbled feta and chopped parsley.
