Chickpeas and Chard with Poached Eggs

This vibrant dish of chickpeas and chard with poached eggs is a masterclass in Middle Eastern-inspired flavours. Earthy Swiss chard and protein-rich pulses are seasoned with baharat—a fragrant spice blend—and brightened with the tart pop of dried barberries. The chickpeas are simmered until buttery soft, creating a savoury base that perfectly complements the silky texture of the greens and the sharpness of the lemon-infused cooking liquor.

As a hearty vegetarian meal, this recipe is ideal for a long weekend brunch or a nourishing midweek supper. The addition of cool, creamy labneh and fresh marjoram provides a refreshing contrast to the warm spices and the rich, runny yolks of the poached eggs. Serve it in deep bowls with crusty bread to soak up the aromatic juices for a truly comforting homemade feast.

Ingredients for Chickpeas and Chard with Poached Eggs

  • 2 colheres de sopa mais 60ml de azeite de oliva

  • 1/2 limão

  • 1 small onion, halved, plus

  • 2 cebolas médias, picadas

  • 6 garlic cloves, smashed, divided

  • 2 folhas de louro

  • 1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight, drained

  • 2 colheres de chá de sal kosher, mais a gosto

  • 1 Fresno chilli, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon baharat

  • 2 large bunches Swiss chard, ribs and stems removed and thinly sliced, leaves torn into 1" pieces

  • 45ml dried barberries or dried unsweetened cranberries

  • 8 ovos grandes

  • Labneh (Lebanese strained yoghurt

  • para servir)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh marjoram leaves

  • Freshly cracked black pepper

  • The spice mix baharat and dried barberries are available at Middle Eastern markets or online.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add lemon and halved onion, cut side down, and 2 garlic cloves and cook, turning garlic occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add bay leaves and chickpeas; add water to cover by 1". Bring to a boil and skim surface. Reduce heat, cover, and gently simmer 30 minutes. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt and continue to simmer until chickpeas are tender, 10–20 minutes. Remove from heat; discard lemon, onion, and bay leaves.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 60ml oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Add chopped onion, chilli, baharat, and remaining 4 garlic cloves; season with salt. Cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 8–10 minutes. Add Swiss chard ribs and stems and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5–8 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer chickpeas to skillet. Add cooking liquid to cover; bring to a simmer. Gradually add chard leaves, stirring until slightly wilted before adding more. Add barberries; cook until leaves are wilted, 5–8 minutes.

With mixture at a gentle simmer, use a spoon to make 8 indentations. Crack an egg into each and simmer until whites are almost entirely opaque, about 10 minutes. Cover pan and cook just until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes. Season eggs with salt.

Spoon chickpeas and chard into bowls, top with eggs, labneh, and marjoram, and season with pepper.
