Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce With Chickpeas and Feta

This vibrant vegetarian dish features protein-rich poached eggs nestled in a rich, spicy tomato sauce. Infused with aromatic cumin, sweet paprika and a kick of jalapeño, it is a nourishing meal that works just as well for a leisurely weekend brunch as it does for a quick midweek supper. The addition of tinned chickpeas adds a satisfying texture, while the melted feta provides a salty, creamy contrast to the punchy tomato base.

Hearty and wholesome, this homemade shakshuka-style recipe is designed for sharing straight from the frying pan. Serve it alongside plenty of warmed pita bread to soak up the spiced sauce and golden yolks. This one-pot meal is not only simple to prepare but is also naturally high in fibre and essential vitamins, making it a healthy choice for any time of day.

Ingredients for Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce With Chickpeas and Feta

  • 60ml olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

  • 4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped

  • 2 jalapeños, seeded, finely chopped

  • 1 425g can chickpeas, drained

  • 2 teaspoons Hungarian sweet paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 800g can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand, juices reserved

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 150g coarsely crumbled feta

  • 8 large eggs

  • 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander

  • Warm pita bread

Preheat oven to 218°C. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeños; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add chickpeas, paprika, and cumin and cook for 2 minutes longer.

Add crushed tomatoes and their juices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle feta evenly over sauce. Crack eggs one at a time and place over sauce, spacing evenly apart. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 5-8 minutes. Garnish with parsley and coriander. Serve with pita for dipping.
