Authentic Grenadian Baked Chickpeas Porridge

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, potato, tomato, flour, bay leaf, garlic, salt.

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

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