Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 loaf crusty bread (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and chickpeas to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Use a spoon to make small wells in the sauce and carefully crack an egg into each well.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny (cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks).
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley over the top.
Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping, if desired.
