Recipe: Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 3 minutes Serves: 2 Ingredients 1 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed 8 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 250g cherry tomatoes, halved 4 sundried tomatoes (in oil) drained and finely chopped 5 sprigs of basil, leaves picked and finely shredded ¼ tsp chilli flakes (optional) Juice of ¼ lemon 4 eggs 4 tbsp mixed seeds (or Daily30) Method 1. Put the chickpeas in a medium bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Use your hands to crush the chickpeas, breaking them down slightly. 2. Add the cherry tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, basil, chilli flakes and lemon. Stir to combine. 3. Place a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the remaining olive oil (or enough to generously coat the base of your frying pan) and when hot, crack the eggs into the pan. They will sizzle a lot so be careful. Season with salt and pepper and fry for 2-2 ½ minutes, until the whites are set, the edges are crispy but the yolk is still runny. 4. Divide the smashed chickpeas between two bowls and serve the eggs on top. Garnish with mixed seeds or Daily30 and serve. 00:00 - Intro 00:54 - Recipe part 1 05:41 - The science of protein 09:16 - Recipe part 2 11:23 - Outro
