Chickpea and pepper shakshuka

Method

  1. Slice the onion and the pepper thinly and crush the garlic. Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
  2. Warm the oil in a wide frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the onion and pepper with a pinch of salt for 8 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft and starting to colour.
  3. Stir in the garlic, cumin and smoked paprika for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes, the chickpeas and 100 ml of water. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the sauce is thick enough to hold a spoon trail.
  5. Stir the spinach through for a minute until it wilts, then taste and add salt and pepper.
  6. Scatter with the chopped parsley and bring the pan to the table.

Tip Serve it with bread or rice to mop up the sauce. It keeps for 3 days in the fridge and tastes better the next day.
