SHAKSHUKA WITH CHICKPEAS AND SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Add the eggs (in their shells) to a large bowl of warm water and set aside. This will bring the eggs to room temperature and make for more even cooking.
• Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the harissa, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss to coat the onion. Add the cherry tomatoes, chickpeas with their liquid and 1/4 cup water. Increase the heat to medium high, stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Add the Swiss chard in batches, stirring until wilted before adding more. Continue cooking until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Remove the eggs from the water and crack them into a bowl or large spouted measuring cup. Make 8 wells in the tomato mixture and gently slip 1 egg into each well.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the egg whites are fully set and firm to the touch, 8 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, put the bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Top the shakshuka with the parsley. Divide among shallow bowls or plates; serve with the bread and more harissa.
