Notes
This chickpea stew is a great base for eggs. Prepare at least 1 egg per person. Make the eggs using your favorite method. If I have really fresh eggs, then I like to poach them in a water bath. Otherwise, I make fried eggs.
I recommend making a double or triple batch of stew. The leftovers are amazing! They are delicious in wraps or salads. See the section above for more serving options.
The cheese in the photographs is homemade feta, which tends to be softer than store-bought. This dish is also delicious with firm kefir cheese.
