2 3/4 ounces pepperoni, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (you can also use chorizo or even pancetta)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 red chile, chopped
1 (15-ounce) can navy beans
3/4 cup strained tomatoes or 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, (if you don't have either, use 2 tablespoons tomato paste and add 3/4 cup water)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
pinch of sugar, if needed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sunflower oil, for pan-frying
2 eggs
2-4 slices bread of your choice
butter, to spread on the toast
pinch of ground cumin
coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1
Place a nonstick medium saucepan on the stove and set the heat to low.
2
Add the pepperoni and cook for a few minutes.
3
Once the fat starts melting from the sausage, add the garlic and chilli, followed by the beans.
4
Stir the mixture well before adding the tomatoes.
5
If you have any fresh cherry tomatoes or larger chopped tomatoes that need using up, throw them in now.
6
Season with salt and pepper.
7
Have a taste to check if the stew is a bit tart, and if it is, add a pinch of sugar and cook for 10 minutes on a low simmer while you cook the eggs and toast the bread.
8
To pan-fry the eggs, in a nonstick skillet, heat the oil, crack in the eggs, and cook over medium heat until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, 4 to 5 minutes.
9
Toast the bread, butter it, and divide between two plates.
10
Divide the beans equally over the slices of toast.
11
Top each serving of beans with an egg, sunny-side up.
12
If you have it, add a small pinch of cumin and salt to the top of each yolk, then sprinkle over some chopped cilantro if you like, and serve immediately.
