Weeknight Puerto Rican Grilled Chickpeas Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, coriander, butter, onion, bay leaf, paprika, tomato.

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

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