Spiced Afghan Stewed Chickpeas Bake

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, coriander, black pepper, onion, stock, carrot, cinnamon.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chickpeas and cook until stewed.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Afghan 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 Afghan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
