Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 medium tomatoes, cored

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 6 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • ¾ teaspoon salt, divided

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided

  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

  • 3 cups hot cooked brown rice

  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

  • ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons tahini

Directions

  1. Shred tomatoes with a box grater (this should yield about 1 cup grated tomato).

  2. Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Stir in 1 cup grated tomato and the garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until tomatoes are broken down and most of the water is evaporated, about 7 minutes.

  3. Add eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to tomato mixture. Cook until eggs are set, gently stirring, about 3 minutes. They should be soft but not watery. Fold in feta and oregano. Keep warm.

  4. Stir together rice, chickpeas, olives, parsley, lemon zest, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk together lemon juice and tahini in a small bowl and pour over rice mixture. Toss gently to coat. Serve egg mixture over rice mixture. If you like, sprinkle with additional tomato, oregano, and parsley.
