Festival Paraguayan Slow-Cooked Chickpeas Stew

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, coriander, chili, cinnamon, lemon juice, bell pepper, olive oil.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chickpeas and cook until slow-cooked.

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