Spinach with Chickpeas and Fried Eggs

This Mediterranean-inspired spinach with chickpeas and fried eggs is a nourishing vegetarian dish that brings warmth and depth to the dinner table. Inspired by classic Spanish tapas, the recipe combines earthy pulses with vibrant greens, all brought together in a rich tomato and cumin-scented broth. The addition of smoked paprika provides a subtle wood-fired flavour that perfectly complements the creamy texture of the partially mashed chickpeas.

Ideal for a wholesome midweek meal, this one-pot stew is both budget-friendly and naturally high in protein and fibre. The crowning glory is a crispy-edged fried egg, basted in olive oil until the white is lacy and the yolk remains rich and runny. Serve it in deep bowls with a side of crusty sourdough bread to soak up the savoury juices for a truly satisfying homemade dinner.

Ingredients for Spinach with Chickpeas and Fried Eggs

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more

  • 4 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced, divided

  • 8 cups spinach, coarsely chopped

  • Sale kosher, pepe macinato fresco

  • 140g di cipolla tritata

  • 1 cucchiaino di semi di cumino

  • 1/4 cucchiaini di paprika affumicata

  • 2 425g cans chickpeas, rinsed

  • 5 canned whole tomatoes, crushed

  • 725ml (or more) vegetable broth

  • 4 uova grandi

  • Ingredient info: Smoked paprika is available at most supermarkets.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. When oil begins to shimmer, add 1 garlic clove. Stir until beginning to turn golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Add spinach to pot. Toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Cook until spinach is wilted but still bright green, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside. Wipe out pot.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in same pot over medium heat. When oil begins to shimmer, add onion and 3 garlic cloves. Cook, stirring often, until onion is softened, 3-4 minutes.

Add cumin and paprika; stir until cumin is toasted and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add chickpeas and tomatoes; stir to coat. Cook until tomatoes start to caramelize and chickpeas begin to brown, 8-10 minutes. Add 725ml broth; bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, occasionally mashing some chickpeas with the back of a spoon or a potato masher, until sauce is thickened, 15-20 minutes. Fold in spinach; simmer for flavours to meld, adding more broth by 1/4-cupfuls if too thick, 8ñ10 minutes.

Pour oil into a large heavy skillet to a depth of 1/8" (about 60ml ). Heat until oil begins to shimmer. Crack 2 eggs into hot oil, spacing apart. Using a large spoon, carefully baste whites (not yolks) with oil until whites are set and edges are crunchy, lacy, and golden brown, 2-3 minutes (do not turn). Season eggs with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining 2 eggs.

Spoon chickpea stew into bowls and top each with a fried egg.
