Grandmother's Nigerian Pan-Fried Chickpeas Bake

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, paprika, parsley, butter, garlic, olive oil, stock.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chickpeas and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Nigerian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Nigerian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
