Leisurely weekend brunches were made for this Mediterranean Breakfast. This bright and savory dish features roasted potatoes, tomatoes, and chickpeas, perfectly seasoned with Oaktown Spice Shop Eastern Mediterranean Spice - a versatile and well-balanced spice blend with cumin, garlic, mint, lemon zest, and more. This recipe also features a creamy, garlicky lemon herb feta sauce as a luxe, tangy topper to complement the deeply savory base. Try this for a delicious way to start your day!
1 pound small yellow potatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ heaping tablespoons Oaktown Spice Shop Eastern Mediterranean Spice
2 cloves garlic
6 ounces feta
Zest and juice of one lemon, preferably Meyer
¼ cup fresh dill, roughly chopped
¼ cup parsley, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon hot honey (optional)
Fried eggs, as desired
Toasted buttered bread
Fresh parsley, roughly chopped
Crushed pistachios
Sprinkle of Oaktown Spice Shop Eastern Mediterranean Spice
Add the potatoes to a pot. Cover with an inch of water and add the salt. Bring to boil and then simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain and allow to cool until safe to handle. (Note: you can do this step the night before if preferred.)
Add the boiled potatoes, tomatoes, and chickpeas to a large bowl. Add the olive oil and Eastern Mediterranean Spice and toss until well coated. Pour into a cast iron (or sheet pan) and roast for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are golden brown and the tomatoes are caramelized and jammy.
While the veggies are roasting, make the feta dip. Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust flavors to your personal preference.
When potatoes, tomatoes, and chickpeas are done, plate the final dish with fried eggs and buttered bread. Top the roasted veggies with a drizzle of the feta dip, fresh parsley, crushed pistachios, and another sprinkle of the Eastern Mediterranean Spice.
I made this recipe, and it’s divine! I will definitely be adding it to my breakfast toolbox. It was so simple to make, just gather your ingredients, pop them into the oven and go. And the sauce was so crisp and fresh tasting! Super delicious! I can’t wait to make this again!
I accidentally just gave your recipe 2 stars! I clicked on the stars to read more reviews and to my surprise, it registered as my rating! Ugh. Recipe looks delish… Haven’t even made it. Please disregard my unintentional poor rating!
