Herby Central African Slow-Cooked Vegetable Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: vegetable, paprika, cumin, bay leaf, yogurt, stock, olive oil.

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

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