Chickpea Salad with Four-Minute Eggs
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- One 19-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2/3 cup small green olives, pitted
- 10 small red radishes, quartered
- 2 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 3 scallions, white and light green parts, finely chopped
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- In a medium bowl, whisk the lemon juice with 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- In another medium bowl, lightly crush half of the chickpeas; mix in the whole chickpeas.
- Add half of the vinaigrette to the chickpeas and toss.
- Add the olives, radishes, parsley and scallions to the rest of the vinaigrette and toss.
- Spoon the chickpea salad onto 4 plates and top with the parsley salad.
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil.
- Add the eggs and boil over moderately high heat for 4 minutes.
- Drain, then rinse the eggs under cool water for 1 minute.
- Using the back of a spoon, gently crack the eggs all over and peel the shell off.
- Alternatively, fill a large skillet with enough water to reach two-thirds of the way up the side.
- Add the vinegar and bring to a simmer.
- One at a time, crack the eggs into the simmering water and poach until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Set an egg on each salad and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Sprinkle the salads with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
