To make this dish, I used jarred Spanish garbanzos. Which is the same thing as canned chickpeas. Important to rinse the beans under cold running water before adding them into the pan. That way they can absorb all the flavors in the pan.

What really flavors this dish, is the sweet smoked Spanish paprika and the ground cumin. Of course, you can add any spices you like, but this combination is the one that is most used in Spain when working with garbanzo beans.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: Once you add the eggs into the pan, place a lid and simmer on a low-medium heat until the egg whites are firm and the yolks still creamy. In my case it took about 4 minutes, but it might take less or more on your end. So make sure to keep an eye on the eggs after the 3 minute mark.
