Bay leaf and garlic add a spicy depth to the dish. This is a versatile recipe suitable for family lunches and dinners, perfectly paired with rice or potatoes. Baking at 180 degrees reveals the full palette of flavors, creating a harmonious and aromatic dish that warms the soul and delights the taste buds.
