Authentic Costa Rican Grilled Vegetable Bowl

Assemble the ingredients: vegetable, tomato, turmeric, garlic, yogurt, lemon juice, carrot.

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

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