Grandmother's Burkinabe Spiced Vegetable Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: vegetable, cumin, garlic, parsley, bay leaf, turmeric, olive oil.

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

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