Rustic Iraqi Pan-Fried Pork Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: pork, butter, potato, garlic, bay leaf, bell pepper, chili.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the pork and cook until pan-fried.

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