Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the cooked chickpeas, turmeric, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the chickpeas are heated through and slightly crispy.
  3. Using the back of a spatula, create two small wells in the chickpea mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, or to your desired doneness.
  5. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
