Method:

Heat the oil in a large ovenproof pan over medium/high heat. Add the onion and Braai & Grill Seasoning. Cover with a lid and smoor slowly until onion is soft and golden brown.

Add garlic, paprika and cumin. Stir-fry for another minute. Add chickpeas and Pasta Sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes without a lid to thicken the mixture. Can be pre-prepared up to this stage.

Mix feta into the sauce. Make indentations in the mixture with the back of a soup spoon.

Crack eggs one at a time and pour into hollows. Lightly sprinkle Braai & Grill Seasoning over the eggs.

Cook gently on top of the stove covered with a lid until the eggs are done to your preference. Garnish with parsley.

Serve with toast or torn pita bread for dipping.
