2 tsp olive oil
2 x 230g bunches asparagus, trimmed and cut into 4cm lengths
1 bunch/es salad onions, roughly chopped
2 clove/s garlic, crushed
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 pointed spring cabbage, halved and shredded (thick core discarded)
1 green chilli, sliced
½ lemon, juice
20g feta cheese, crumbled
4 medium free range eggs

Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Add 1 tsp oil, season the asparagus and fry, turning now and then, for about 3 minutes, until charred in places; lift out of the pan and set aside.
Lower the heat, add the remaining 1 tsp oil and sauté the salad onions, garlic and cumin for 1 minute. Throw in the cabbage and half of the chilli, season and fry for 3 minutes, tossing regularly. Add the lemon juice, half of the feta and the asparagus. Turn the heat to medium-low.
Using a spoon, make 4 holes in the vegetable mixture, then crack in the eggs. Cover the pan with a lid or large sheet of foil (it doesn’t need to be very tight) and leave for 5-7 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft. Uncover, take off the heat and season the eggs. Serve scattered with the remaining chilli and feta.

And to drink...

This dry white is bursting with citrus and apricot flavours that give a bright, refreshing lift to the baked eggs.
