Time 45m

Yield Serves four to five

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 pound fingerling potatoes or Yukon golds, scrubbed and sliced
4 large garlic cloves, minced
4 cups freshly shelled peas (about 4 1/2 pounds)
Generous pinch of saffron
1 1/2 quarts water or chicken stock
Salt
freshly ground pepper
4 to 5 eggs
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or a mixture of parsley, tarragon and chives
4 to 5 thick slices country bread, toasted and rubbed with a cut clove of garlic

Steps:

  • In a heavy soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes, and add the potatoes and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic begins to smell fragrant, about one minute. Add the water, saffron and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add the peas, cover and simmer another 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the broth is sweet. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper.
  • One by one, break each egg into a teacup, then tip into the soup. Poach the eggs for four minutes until just set. Place a crouton in each bowl and, using a skimmer or a slotted spoon, scoop out a poached egg and place it on top. Stir the herbs into the soup, then ladle the soup into the bowls and serve.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 yellow pepper, deseeded and diced
½ - 1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped
½ bunch spring onions (about 5), tops and whites sliced but kept separate
1 tsp cumin, plus a little extra to serve (optional)
1 tsp coriander
½ tsp turmeric
3 tomatoes, cut into wedges
⅓ pack coriander, chopped
400g can chickpeas in water, drained but liquid reserved
½ tsp reduced-salt bouillon powder (we used Marigold)
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a non-stick sauté pan, add the garlic, pepper, chilli and the whites from the spring onions, and fry for 5 mins over a medium-high heat. Meanwhile, put a large pan of water on to boil.
  • Add the spices, tomatoes, most of the coriander and the chickpeas to the sauté pan and cook for 1-2 mins more. Stir in the bouillon powder and enough liquid from the chickpeas to moisten everything, and leave to simmer gently.
  • Once the water is at a rolling boil, crack in your eggs and poach for 2 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon. Stir the spring onion tops into the chickpeas, then very lightly crush a few of the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher. Spoon the chickpea mixture onto plates, scatter with the reserved coriander and top with the eggs. Serve with an extra sprinkle of cumin, if you like.

ITALIAN PEAS AND EGGS



Italian Peas and Eggs image

This is a slightly spicy and VERY filling side dish that you can alter to suit your family's tastes. It's the absolute only way to get my kids and I to eat peas! Simple, filling and TASTY! This comes from my father-in-law's family where inexpensive foods were used to create a filling meal. My husband LOVES to sop up the pea/oil juice with fresh Italian bread. Great as a side for meat dishes.
