Aromatic Gabonese Grilled Chickpeas Pilaf

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, flour, paprika, stock, potato, coriander, chili.

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

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