Authentic Lithuanian Stewed Vegetable Curry

Assemble the ingredients: vegetable, garlic, lemon juice, turmeric, tomato, black pepper, olive oil.

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

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