Weeknight Maltese Pan-Fried Vegetable Stew

Assemble the ingredients: vegetable, potato, black pepper, yogurt, stock, turmeric, coriander.

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

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