Ingredients

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, smashed
0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
1 (28-oz) can San Marzano tomatoes
0.5 tsp kosher salt
0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 (15.5-oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
6 large pasture-raised organic eggs
2 cups mixed fresh soft herbs (watercress, parsley, cilantro)
1 shallot, sliced
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1.5 tsp red wine vinegar
Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet fitted with a lid over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic begins to turn golden, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and salt and use a fork or wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce has begun to thicken and no longer runs together when a spoon is dragged through. Season with salt and pepper, then add the chickpeas. Stir, cover, and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
Use the back of a spoon to create six 2-inch-wide indentations in the sauce. Gently crack an egg into each indentation. Cover the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the whites set.
For the herb salad: While the eggs are cooking, mix the herbs in a large bowl with the shallot, olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar. Season with salt.
Scoop the cooked eggs and chickpeas into shallow bowls and top with the herb salad.
