Warm chickpea broth over torn bread with soft egg, harissa, lemon and olive oil.
Ingredients
- 400 g Chickpeas
- 4 pcs Bread
- 2 pcs Eggs
- 4 pcs Garlic
- 3 tbsp Harissa
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 pcs Lemon
- 2 tbsp Capers
- 8 pcs Green Olives
- 1 tsp Caraway Seeds
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 10 g Parsley
- 1.25 tsp Kosher Salt
- 0.75 tsp Black Pepper
- 750 ml Water
Method
- Roughly tear {bread}, finely chop {parsley}, halve {green_olives} if using, and cut {lemon} into wedges so the finish is ready when the hot broth is done.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, warm {olive_oil}, then add {garlic}, {caraway_seeds}, and {cumin}. Cook until fragrant, then stir in {harissa}. Add {chickpeas} and {water}, season with {kosher_salt} and {black_pepper}, and simmer until the broth smells deeply savory and the chickpeas soften slightly.
- Lower the heat so the {chickpeas} broth barely trembles, then crack in {eggs} and poach until the whites are just set and the yolks stay soft.
- Divide the torn {bread} between bowls and ladle over the hot {chickpeas} broth. Top each bowl with a poached {eggs}, then finish with {capers}, {green_olives}, {parsley}, a squeeze of {lemon}, and a final drizzle of {olive_oil}. Taste and adjust with more {kosher_salt}, {black_pepper}, and {harissa} for a sharper, spicier finish.
