Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make aza in a slow cooker in Tatar? Prepare the products. Azu is prepared from beef, preferably from the pulp — tenderloin, shoulder blades, neck. Wash the potatoes well and dry them.
Step 2:
Wash and dry the meat. Cut it into long cubes across the fibers. Such cutting will allow the meat to remain soft.
Step 3:
Set the slow cooker to the "Frying" mode or any other that allows you to fry food in it. It will depend on the model of your device. Pour vegetable oil into it for frying, heat it up. Fry the beef for 10 minutes, stirring, until golden brown.
Step 4:
Cut cucumbers into long cubes. If you use gherkins, then increase their number.
Step 5:
Peel the garlic and also cut into circles.
Step 6:
Put cucumbers, garlic, tomato paste, bay leaves in a bowl. Add salt, pepper and mix the products.
Step 7:
Pour meat broth or hot water into the slow cooker.
Step 8:
Cook the aza in the "Quenching" mode (or on another suitable for quenching) for 1 hour and 20 minutes. The exact time will depend on the mode you choose and the model of the slow cooker.
Step 9:
Peel potatoes, cut into cubes. After 40 minutes from the start of stewing, put the potatoes in a bowl. Simmer the dish for the remaining 40 minutes until the potatoes are ready and the meat is soft.
Step 10:
Sprinkle the finished azu with chopped dill. Serve to the table. Bon appetit!
Today, for the first time in my life, I cooked the basics. Sometimes it amazes me how many delicious and famous dishes I haven't cooked yet. This is despite the fact that I very often cook from beef and that's what I prefer to all other types of meat. And they didn't reach azu. How delicious it is! However, it cannot be otherwise in Tatar cuisine — it is very original.
Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which one is better not to use at all, read here .
Tomato paste in this recipe can be replaced with tomatoes in their own juice, fresh tomatoes or ketchup.
Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique.
