Herby Libyan Slow-cooked Fish Bake

Assemble the ingredients: fish, tomato, turmeric, salt, olive oil, potato, butter.

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

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