MEDITERRANEAN POTATO HASH WITH ASPARAGUS, CHICKPEAS AND POACHED EGGS
INGREDIENTS
- Olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 russet potatoes, diced
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
- 1 lb baby asparagus, hard ends removed, chopped into ¼ inch pieces
- 1½ tsp ground all-spice
- 1 tsp Za’atar
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika or hot paprika
- 1 tsp coriander
- Pinch sugar
- 4 eggs (to be poached)
- Water
- 1 tsp White Vinegar
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
- ½ cup crumbled feta
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley, stems removed
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat 1½ tbsp olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet. Turn the heat to medium-high and add the chopped onions, garlic and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the potatoes are tender (some of the potatoes may gain a bit of a golden crust, which is good!)
- Add the chickpeas, asparagus, a dash more salt and pepper and the spices. Stir to combine. Cook for another 5-7 minutes. Turn the heat to low to keep the potato hash warm; stir regularly.
- Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a steady simmer and add 1 tsp vinegar. Break the eggs into a bowl. Stir the simmering water gently and carefully slide the eggs in. The egg whites should warp around the yoke. Cook for 3 minutes exactly, then remove the eggs from the simmering water and onto kitchen towel to drain briefly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the potato hash from the heat and add the chopped red onions, tomatoes, feta and parsley. Top with the poached eggs. Enjoy!
