- In a pan, dry-fry the chorizo until crisp. Set aside until needed.
- Heat the oil in the same pan. Add the onion and fry, over a low heat, for 5 mins, until softened. Stir in the garlic and spices and cook for a further 2 mins.
- Stir in the greens and season. Cover and cook for 1 min, then uncover and continue cooking for 3 mins more. Fold through the spinach until just wilted.
- Pour in the cream and lemon juice. Make 2 hollows in the mixture and crack an egg into each. Scatter over the chorizo, feta, dill, chilli and paprika. Cook gently for 8 mins, or until the whites have set.
