Harissa Onion and Poached Egg on Toast

At Bedfolk HQ we love nothing better than slow weekend mornings followed by a delicious brunch. So we've teamed up with Tina Jui, cook, writer and photographer at The Worktop to bring you some of our favourite recipes. 

We're serving up harissa onion and poach egg on toast. If harissa is new to you, like it was to us, it's a thick chilli paste with a mix of spices thrown it. It mainly consists of red chillies, red peppers, garlic, olive oil, and tomato paste, with a mix of aromatic spices. 

It pairs particularly well with onions - here the sweet and spicy flavours of caramelised onions and harissa are topped on a layer of cool greek yogurt. This is a really quick and easy recipe bursting with flavour, perfect for a busy weekend.
