Thanks to Colin Griffiths for this recipe and accompanying photograph. Colin and Cookipedia seem to have an affinity with eggs for it is his pictures that grace our Ostrich section!

From the picture, this looks fantastic.

• 1 teaspoon chilli flakes or taco-mix
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika powder
• 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed

• 1 400g can of chickpeas, drained and well rinsed

Mise en place

Method

1. Break one of the eggs into a bowl and beat well.
2. Put the breadcrumbs and plain flour into separate bowls.
3. Place the eggs into a pan of boiling water and boil for 4 minutes. This should result in a runny yolk. See how to boil an egg for different yolk preferences.
4. Leave the eggs to cool then remove the shell.
5. Heat the olive oil in a wok or frying pan and gently sauté the bell pepper and onions for 8 minutes.
6. Add the crushed garlic and sauté for another few minutes.
7. Stir in the chickpeas, paprika powder and chilli flakes and then mash the chickpeas with a potato masher.
8. Mix well and allow to cool so the mixture can be handled.
9. Roll the peeled eggs in the plain flour to coat and then take a fifth of the veggie mix and mould it around the egg.
10. Dip in the beaten egg and roll in the breadcrumbs.
11. Pop the eggs on a lightly oiled baking tray or one lined with bake-o-glide.
12. Cook for 35 minutes, turning once.
