When I saw this recipe on Heatherbakes recently I almost died. I LOVE chickpeas (um, call me captain obvious). But โ Ben doesnโt like them ๐
He does however, LOVE eggs. So, when I saw this combination I knew I had a winner.
The original recipe is in the latest Food Network magazine. This edition is all about eggs. Since I didnโt have the actual magazine or recipe I made it up as I went along (aka โ how I always cook).
I used this sauce I got from Bertolli as part of the FoodBuzz Taste Maker program. This is my new favorite sauce. I LOVED it โ for real. Ben even asked if itโs sold around here because he wants me to get it again.
This meal was super easy and super delicious โ just like I like it! Plus, with the addition of eggs Ben loved it too.
Chickpeas and Eggs โ RER style:
Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Sautee onions and garlic in oil. Add 2-3 cups of cooked (canned) chickpeas. Mix and Heat through.
Add jar of sauce, heat.
When sauce is hot add eggs. I added four because I wanted more chickpeas than eggs.
Serve with warm naan. Enjoy life.
I topped the bread with some I Canโt Believe itโs Not Butter spread. The company sent me a coupon for one of their products and I went with the spread because I already have the spray ๐
Today was a healthy, but not perfect day of eats. After reviewing many, many blog posts from the past I realized a few blaring things I do wrong:
– Eat too many carbs and not enough protein or healthy fats (so Iโm not satisfied)
– Eat too much fruit by itself (and have a resulting sugar/carb binge)
– Snack randomly/mindlessly/habitually/at night (this we already knew, but I didnโt realize the extent until reading myself do it day after day after dayโฆ)
In an effort to listen to get in more protein I made a turkey sandwich for lunch. As soon as I was eating it I felt guilty for eating meat ๐ I think I will stick to non-animal sources of protein in my sandwich next time. But I did want to come clean about it.
Today while eating an apple and cantaloupe (that missed the camera) I added cashews and raisins. Adding the nuts helped even with the dried fruit.
Now I am off to spend some time with that guy who lives with meโฆ

This is the right Chickpeas and Eggs | Run Eat Repeat blog for anyone who wants to move out out roughly this issue. You react so overmuch its virtually effortful to fence with you (not that I real would wantโฆHaHa). You definitely put a new gyrate on a message thats been holographic around for period. Prissy meaninglessness, but high!

That looks wonderful. I have a silly question, do you cook the eggs first or let them cook in the sauce? I can’t wait to make this recipe.
