Family Ivorian Simmered Chickpeas Pastry

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, lemon juice, black pepper, flour, tomato, potato, turmeric.

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

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