Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 can (400 g) chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 can (about 120 g) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Stir in the chopped garlic, smoked paprika, ground coriander, and chili flakes. Cook for about 30 seconds while stirring continuously.
  4. Pour the chopped tomatoes into the skillet and add the chickpeas. Season with salt and mix well.
  5. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  6. Using a spoon, create three small wells in the sauce.
  7. Crack one egg into each well.
  8. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.
  9. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness.
  10. Serve immediately with warm bread for dipping.

Notes

  • Add fresh spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking for extra nutrients.
  • Bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms can be sautéed with the onion for more vegetables.
  • For extra heat, increase chili flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can be sprinkled on top before serving.
  • The tomato and chickpea sauce can be made ahead and stored before adding the eggs.
