Method:

Poached Eggs

1. Bring a pan of water, filled at least 5cm deep, to a simmer. Don’t add any salt as this may break up the egg white.
2. Stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool and a drop of distilled vinegar to help the egg white wrap around the yolk.
3. Slowly tip the egg into the centre. Make sure the heat is low enough not to throw the egg around as there should only be small bubbles rising.
4. Cook for 3 minutes.
5. Lift the egg out with a slotted spoon and drain it on kitchen paper. Trim off any straggly bits of white.
6. If you need to cook more than one poached egg, keep it at the right temperature in warm water.
7. Place the humus in the centre of the plate and scatter a few whole chickpeas over.
8. Put a dollp of relish on top of the eggs for the perfect eggy brunch.

Red Pepper and Walnut Relish

1. Roast all in oven at 220 until charred a little. This will take 40mins approx.
2. Following this, blend until a thick pulp but don’t blitz fully as you want it chunky and to have a bit of texture.
