Classic Malian Stewed Vegetable Stew

Assemble the ingredients: vegetable, turmeric, cinnamon, tomato, stock, bell pepper, black pepper.

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

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