Weeknight Barbadian Simmered Cheese Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: cheese, parsley, coriander, bay leaf, cinnamon, yogurt, chili.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the cheese and cook until simmered.

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