Spiced Ukrainian Slow-Cooked Chickpeas Skillet

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, yogurt, flour, garlic, black pepper, carrot, bay leaf.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chickpeas and cook until slow-cooked.

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