Garbanzo Beans With Egg
11.10.11
Directions:
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cut the spinach into 1/2-inch pieces and add to the pan; cook for 1 minute, then use a Chinese skimmer to drain. Place the drained spinach in a bowl.
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a separate bowl.
Use an immersion (stick) blender, a food processor or a regular blender to puree the tomatoes and their juices, then transfer to the strainer. Let the tomato puree drip into the bowl; do not press. This should take about 15 minutes; the yield is about 1/2 cup.
Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and the strained tomato pulp; cook for a few minutes, so the garlic becomes fragrant, then add the garbanzo beans and the cumin; stir for 30 seconds. Add the broth; increase the heat to medium-high and bring just to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Bring a separate small saucepan of water just to a boil over medium-high heat. Carefully crack the eggs open into separate small containers, then pour them one at a time into the water. Poach to the desired consistency; remove from the heat.

Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 250 degrees F. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, tuck wings behind back, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat until just smoking. Add chicken breast side down; scatter onion, celery, garlic, bay leaf, and rosemary sprig, if using, around chicken. Cook until breast is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Using wooden spoon inserted into cavity of bird, flip chicken breast side up and cook until chicken and vegetables are well browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
Off heat, place large sheet of aluminum foil over pot and cover tightly with lid. Transfer pot to oven and cook chicken until breast registers 160 degrees and thighs register 175 degrees, 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes.
Transfer chicken to carving board, tent with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, strain chicken juices from pot through fine-mesh strainer into fat separator, pressing on solids to extract liquid; discard solids. Let juices settle for 5 minutes, then pour into saucepan and set over low heat. Carve chicken, adding any accumulated juices to saucepan. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve chicken, passing sauce separately.
