Rustic Haitian Baked Tofu Casserole

Assemble the ingredients: tofu, water, salt, tomato, cumin, lemon juice, cinnamon.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the tofu and cook until baked.

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