Grandmother's Croatian Simmered Lamb Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: lamb, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, water, bell pepper.

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

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