Curried Rice & Chickpeas With Eggs
  1. Add ¼ cup of the olive oil to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Stir in the curry powder, paprika, salt, cumin, black pepper and cayenne, and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute to bloom the spices, taking care not to burn them.

  2. Add the rice and chickpeas and sauté, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until the rice is fragrant and coated in the oil and spices. Stir in the coconut milk, stock and lemon juice, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the rice is tender.

  3. Just before the chickpeas and rice are ready, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add 2 of the eggs and fry for about 3 minutes; the whites should be set with crisp edges and the yolks set but still a bit runny. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining 2 eggs.

  4. Spoon the rice and chickpeas into individual serving bowls and top each with a fried egg.
