Stewed vegetables in a cauldron over a fire with meat

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make stewed vegetables in a cauldron over a fire with meat? First, prepare the pork. It is best to take the pulp (neck part), it is moderately fatty and juicy. Rinse the meat under running water, pat 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 larger.

2. STEP 2

   

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

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash all vegetables in clean water. Leave the potatoes in a container with liquid, otherwise if they remain peeled for a long time without water, they will darken. Dry the tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic and peppers with napkins to remove excess moisture.

4. STEP 4

   

   Light a fire and set up a cauldron. Pour in vegetable oil and heat it well. Using a slotted spoon, pour boiling oil over the edges of the cauldron (be extremely careful not to burn yourself!) Cut one onion into 2 parts and fry half.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add meat to the cauldron. Stirring continuously, fry the pork in the oil until the sides are golden brown. Pour some water, cover the cauldron with a lid and simmer the meat until almost done (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 is burning; if this happens, add a little water. At this time, prepare everything else. Cut the carrots into large cubes, chop the remaining onion into half rings, cut large cloves of garlic into 2-4 parts, and leave small ones whole.

7. STEP 7

   

   Halve the bell pepper and remove the core and seeds. Cut into thin feathers or half rings.

8. STEP 8

   

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

9. 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, turn the fire to maximum and evaporate the excess. Add onions, garlic, carrots and peppers to the cauldron.

10. STEP 10

    

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

11. STEP 11

    

    Add tomatoes.

12. STEP 12

    

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

13. 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 a few firewood so that the fire becomes medium and simmer the potatoes and meat under a closed lid.

14. STEP 14

    

    After about 20 minutes, check the potatoes are done. This can be done by piercing the potatoes with the tip of a knife.

15. STEP 15

    

    Add finely chopped greens to the dish.

16. STEP 16

    

    Fragrant meat with vegetables in a cauldron over a fire is ready! It's time to serve!
