  1. Finely dice the onion. Finely chop or crush 3 garlic cloves. On a separate board, dice the pork into 1cm pieces. Place the pork in a mixing bowl and toss with the paprika, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the pork, onion and garlic and cook for 5-6 mins, until the onion begins to soften.
  2. Drain and rinse the beans, then add to the pork along with the sundried tomato paste, chopped tomatoes and 75ml water. Simmer for 10-12 mins, until the sauce reduces slightly.
  3. Meanwhile, bring 2 small saucepans filled with hot water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into a saucepan using a spoon. Boil for 6 mins, then remove, run under cold water and carefully peel. Trim the broccoli, then add to the other saucepan and boil for 3-4 mins, until soft, then drain.
  4. Make the herby sauce. Finely chop the chives, parsley and half the pine nuts. Place in a bowl and mix with the vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Serve the beans topped with the eggs. Dollop with the herby sauce. Serve the broccoli sprinkled with the remaining pine nuts.
