HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened and translucent.

02

Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

03

Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained) and rinsed chickpeas. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

04

Stir in the fresh spinach, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.

05

Create four small wells in the stew. Carefully crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.

06

Serve immediately, perhaps with a slice of crusty bread for dipping.

Chef's Tips

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the smoked paprika. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving brightens all the flavors.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute kale for spinach, though it will require a slightly longer cooking time to soften. For a vegan version, omit the eggs and add an extra can of chickpeas or some crumbled firm tofu.
