Azu in Tatar style with potatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make basics in Tatar style with potatoes? Take a piece of beef, wash and dry it well. Cut the meat into small pieces. Immediately take the container in which the basics will be prepared and place it over medium heat. Pour some vegetable oil and heat it well. Add chopped beef. Fry the meat over medium heat until golden brown.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel and chop the onions and carrots. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater and chop the onion. Add vegetables to the pan with the meat. Reduce heat and simmer meat and vegetables for about 10 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   At this time, cut the washed tomatoes into pieces. Grate the pickled cucumbers on a coarse grater or simply cut them with a knife. I prefer the option with grated cucumbers. Add the tomatoes and cucumbers to the pan and continue simmering for another 10 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the potatoes, rinse and cut into strips. In a separate frying pan, fry the potatoes with the addition of a small amount of vegetable oil. Fry it until golden brown, but not until cooked, so that the potatoes do not fall apart later.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the fried potatoes in the pan with the meat. Add hot water. It is important to add hot water; cold water can cause the meat to become tough. Azu can be prepared either thicker or completely liquid, similar to soup. Adjust the amount of water to your taste. Add some salt and spices. Simmer the dish for another 10-15 minutes until fully cooked. Serve the basics hot. Bon appetit!

Once I tried the basics of Tatar and immediately fell in love with this dish. Today I prepared it for lunch, using the recipe for basic Tatar with potatoes as a basis. I used pork instead of beef. I fried the meat, onions, and carrots in a frying pan one by one, then added the tomato and pickled cucumbers. I fried the potatoes in a separate pan. I cooked it without closing the lid at first. Then, when the potatoes have “set” a little, put it under the lid. I brought it to half-cookedness, then put it in a frying pan with meat and vegetables. I added a little water and simmered until done. The azu turned out great! The meat was stewed well, it became soft and aromatic, and the vegetables were also cooked through. It turned out juicy and very tasty! I was especially pleased with the sourness from the tomatoes and cucumbers. Thank you very much for the recipe!
