Equipment

  • 1 9 x 13 Baking Dish

Ingredients

Filling:

  • 1 Large Onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • cup Chopped Green Onions
  • 6 Garlic Cloves pressed or finely minced
  • 2 Scotch Bonnet or Habanero Peppers
  • 2 tablespoon Curry Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Allspice
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 L Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 3 cans Chickpeas drained
  • 2 cans Diced Potato drained
  • ¼ cup Fresh Cilantro finely chopped
  • Salt to taste

Topping:

  • 2 cans Pillsbury Country Biscuits
  • ¼ cup Melted Butter
  • ½ teaspoon Cumin
  • ½ teaspoon Turmeric

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook onions in vegetable oil until onions are soft.
  • Add green onions, chopped peppers, and spices. Stir well, continue to cook for another minute, or until fragrant.
  • Add broth, chickpeas, potatoes, and cilantro, bring to a boil. Turn head down to medium and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until mixture is desired thickness. (Note: It will continue to thick, so leave it a little loose!)
  • Preheat oven to 375 F, spray a 9 x 13" baking pan or casserole dish with pan spray.
  • Once filling has reached the right thickness, season with salt, to taste. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Open the can of biscuits, split each in half (make 2 thinner rounds from each). Stretch / flatten each slightly, then arrange over the hot filling, overlapping slightly
  • Note: It’s important to place the biscuits on the hot filling, and bake it right away. The heat of the filling helps ensure that the biscuits bake all the way through.
  • Mix melted butter with remaining spices, brush over the biscuit topping.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked though.
  • Serve hot, topped with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired!

Notes

Once cooled to room temperature, leftovers can be covered with plastic wrap - or transferred to an airtight container - and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
