Make it happen

  1. 01

    Mix flour, water, 1 tbsp olive oil and salt into a supple dough. Divide into four thin flatbreads and cook in a dry hot pan for 2 minutes each side until cooked through.

  2. 02

    Stir the garlic and lemon juice into the Greek yoghurt and divide between four serving bowls.

  3. 03

    Heat chickpeas with ground cumin and a splash of water for 5 minutes until piping hot.

  4. 04

    Bring a wide pan of water to a gentle simmer. Poach the eggs one at a time until whites are set, about 3–4 minutes, and drain carefully.

  5. 05

    Melt the butter with the smoked paprika over low heat until fragrant without letting it burn.

  6. 06

    Place a poached egg and the prepared topping over each bowl of yoghurt, drizzle with warm paprika butter and serve with the homemade flatbreads.
