Step-by-step
- Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Add half of the oil, season the asparagus and fry, turning now and then, until charred in places, for about 3 minutes. Lift out of the pan and set aside.
- Lower the heat, add the remaining oil and sauté the spring onions, garlic and cumin for a minute. Throw in the cabbage and half of the chilli, 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 mix of vegetables, then crack in the eggs. Cover the pan with a large sheet of foil (it doesn't have to be very tight) and leave on medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft.
- Uncover, take off heat and season. Serve scattered with the remaining chilli and feta.
