Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
• 240 grams (drained and rinsed) canned chickpeas
• 100 grams sliced chorizo
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes and chickpeas to the skillet. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Let the mixture cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Stir in the sliced chorizo and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Using the back of a spoon, create 4 small wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny (cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately, preferably with crusty bread or warm tortillas on the side to scoop up the sauce.
