Stewed vegetables in a cauldron on a fire with meat

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make stewed vegetables in a cauldron on a fire with meat? First of all, prepare the pork. It is best to take the pulp (neck part), it is moderately fat and juicy. Rinse the meat under running water, dry with a kitchen towel and slice. The size of the pieces should not be very small, about the size of a matchbox or a little more.

2. Step 2:

   

   Next, prepare the vegetables. Peel the potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash all the vegetables in clean water. Leave the potatoes in a container with liquid, otherwise, if they are cleaned for a long time without water, they will darken. Dry tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic and pepper with napkins to get rid of excess moisture.

4. Step 4:

   

   Light a fire, install a cauldron. Pour vegetable oil and heat it well. Using a slotted spoon, pour boiling oil over the edges of the cauldron (be extremely careful! don't get burned!) Cut one onion into 2 parts and send the half to fry.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add meat to the cauldron. Stir continuously, fry the pork in oil until golden sides appear. Pour a little water, cover the cauldron with a lid and simmer the meat until almost ready (40-60 minutes). Keep the fire under the cauldron slightly weaker than average.

6. Step 6:

   

   Sometimes open the lid to check if the meat burns, if this happens, then add a little water. At this time, prepare everything else. Cut the carrot into large cubes, chop the remaining onion into half rings, cut the large garlic cloves into 2-4 parts, and leave the small ones intact.

7. Step 7:

   

   Split the bell pepper, remove the core with the seeds. Cut into thin feathers or half rings.

8. Step 8:

   

   In tomatoes, cut out the place where the stalk was attached. Cut the tomatoes into small slices.

10. Step 9:

    

    After the specified time, open the lid, if it suddenly turns out that there is a lot of liquid in the cauldron, then add firewood, make the fire maximum and evaporate the excess. Add onion, garlic, carrot and pepper to the cauldron.

11. Step 10:

    

    Stirring with a slotted spoon, fry vegetables with meat for about 5-10 minutes.

12. Step 11:

    

    Add tomatoes.

13. Step 12:

    

    Next, lay out an even layer of potatoes. I choose medium-sized tubers for the dish and put them in the whole cauldron. If you have large potatoes, then cut them into pieces of the same size.

14. Step 13:

    

    Pour water into the cauldron so that it almost covers the potatoes (as in the photo). Add salt to taste. At this stage, you can add your favorite spices. Bring the contents of the cauldron to a boil, then remove some firewood so that the fire becomes medium and simmer potatoes with meat under a closed lid.

15. Step 14:

    

    After about 20 minutes, check the readiness of the potatoes. You can do this by piercing the potatoes with the tip of a knife.

16. Step 15:

    

    Add finely chopped greens to the dish.

17. Step 16:

    

    Fragrant potatoes with meat are ready! It's time to serve!
