  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the chorizo until it’s crisping and the oil turns red. Add the harissa and cumin, and cook for a minute. Tip in the tomatoes and a tin full of water, and bring to a simmer. Add the lentils with lots of seasoning, then simmer for 20 minutes or until the lentils are tender and the sauce has thickened.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the eggs for 7 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water. Shell them once cool enough to handle.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the avocado, spring onions, parsley and lime juice, and season with salt.
  4. Stir the peppers into the tomato mixture and simmer for 3 minutes. Pile the stew into wide bowls, top with halved eggs and the avo salsa. Eat with soft flatbreads or pittas, if you like.
