Village Bosnian Sautéed Vegetable Kebabs

Assemble the ingredients: vegetable, tomato, bay leaf, salt, chili, bell pepper, water.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the vegetable and cook until sautéed.

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