Drain Them

• Cook the eggs to taste: we can make a hard-boiled egg, a soft-boiled egg, or a poached egg. We can also choose to add a raw egg yolk directly to the dish.
• Hard-boiled egg: place the egg in a saucepan with cold water. When it begins to boil, let it cook for 9-12 minutes, depending on the size of the egg and the desired level of doneness.
• Soft-boiled egg: place the egg in the water once it is already boiling and let it cook for 3-4 minutes to keep the inside liquid. After this time, remove it and place it in cold water to stop the cooking process.
• Poached egg: submerge the egg without the shell in very hot water (but not boiling, around 80-85°C) for 3-4 minutes, adding a dash of vinegar to the water. Before placing the egg, swirl the water to create a vortex. Once cooked, leave the egg in warm water until it needs to be added to the dish.
• If making soft-boiled eggs with shells, place them in the water once it is boiling and let them cook for 3-4 minutes to achieve a liquid interior. Then, remove them, peel them, and leave them in warm water until they need to be added to the dish.
• Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds and then submerge them in cold water to peel them easily. Remove the skin and seeds.
• Blend the tomatoes with a hand blender until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous texture.
• Place the tomato puree in a colander to remove excess water, without pressing to retain the juice.
• Peel and finely chop the garlic.
• Sauté the blended tomatoes and garlic in a saucepan with olive oil over medium heat until well cooked. Add the cumin.
• Add the chickpeas (with their broth) to the pot and sauté them for 30 seconds to enhance their flavor.
• Add the chicken broth and increase the heat until it reaches a boil.
• Add the spinach to the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the spinach is tender.
• Thicken the juice with the cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water. We should achieve a creamy, not thick, texture.
• Serve in a deep plate with the prepared egg in the center.
