Rustic Guyanese Baked Mushroom Salad

Assemble the ingredients: mushroom, tomato, stock, black pepper, bell pepper, potato, cumin.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the mushroom and cook until baked.

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