Aromatic Panamanian Braised Chickpeas Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, turmeric, cinnamon, potato, butter, onion, chili.

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

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