Rustic Latvian Stewed Tofu Casserole

Assemble the ingredients: tofu, turmeric, bay leaf, potato, stock, cinnamon, water.

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

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