Making the Chickpea Breakfast Bowl is straightforward. Follow these steps to create your tasty dish:
1. Prepare Chickpeas: If you’re using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them under cold water. If using dried chickpeas, ensure they are boiled and tender.
2. Sauté Chickpeas: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through and lightly crispy.
3. Cook Spinach: In the same skillet, add fresh spinach. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
4. Prepare Egg: While the chickpeas and spinach are cooking, poach or fry the egg to your desired doneness.
5. Assemble Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the spinach and chickpea mixture. Top it with the sliced avocado and the cooked egg.
6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and fresh herbs over the top. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Chickpea Breakfast Bowl warm, fresh, and bursting with flavors.
