Weeknight Palestinian Simmered Cheese Skillet

Assemble the ingredients: cheese, yogurt, water, potato, butter, bell pepper, turmeric.

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

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