Stewed potatoes with meat in a cauldron

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make stewed potatoes with meat in a cauldron? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Peel the potatoes in advance and rinse them to remove dirt. You can take any meat - pork, beef, lamb or chicken. I will cook with pork. You can take meat pulp, meat with a small amount of lard, or meat on the bone.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the meat into pieces. Pour vegetable oil into a hot cauldron and let it heat up. Add the chopped meat and fry it over high heat for several minutes. During this time, excess moisture will evaporate from the meat and it will begin to brown.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the meat is roasting, prepare the vegetables. Peel the onions and carrots and rinse them to remove dirt. Cut the onion into half rings and the carrots into large pieces. These can be bars or circles. My carrots are large, so I ended up with half circles.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add onions and carrots to the cauldron with the meat. Stir. Fry everything together for another 3-5 minutes. The vegetables will develop a characteristic aroma.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the peeled potatoes into large pieces and place in a cauldron. Add tomato paste and hot water. Add salt and spices to taste. Mix everything. Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   If you want more broth, add more water. During cooking, the potatoes will become soft. About 10 minutes before the end of stewing, add a couple of cloves of garlic to the cauldron. Remove the finished potatoes and meat from the heat and leave to stand under the lid for 15-20 minutes. Arrange the finished dish on plates and serve hot. Bon appetit!

I cooked stewed potatoes with meat in a cauldron at the dacha over a fire. I like food cooked in a cauldron. First of all, it is, of course, delicious. Secondly, it's fast enough. It took me about half an hour to cook, not counting the chopping of vegetables and meat. I stewed potatoes with pork (I had ham). There were no carrots left at the dacha, so instead I took bell peppers and cut them into strips. I cut the onion into feathers. Replaced tomato paste with grated tomato. Since the tomato was quite juicy, less water was needed. For spices, I added a ready-made mixture for meat. The meat turned out very tender and soft. The whole dish has an excellent, rich taste. All ingredients combine perfectly and complement each other. The whole family, young and old, was pleased with the resulting dinner. Thank you very much for the recipe!

Today for lunch I prepared delicious stewed potatoes with meat in a cauldron. Our whole family loves this dish, mainly for its delicate, velvety sauce). Therefore, I add more water to the cauldron. I had pork with fat; when cooked it is softer and juicier. Fry it until golden brown. Then I added onion in half rings and carrots in circles and fried again. During this time I prepared the potatoes. This time it turned out to be boiled and tasty, and this is important! I simmered the potatoes until soft, adding a bay leaf. I did not add tomato paste at my daughter’s request. Great hearty dish! The meat is soft, the potatoes are tender, the carrots are sweet - just a miracle!
