Authentic Guatemalan Pan-Fried Chickpeas Dumplings

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, salt, cinnamon, stock, parsley, flour, garlic.

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

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