Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a vegetable stew with meat, zucchini, potatoes, eggplant and tomatoes in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. You can use any meat, but I like to cook it with pork most of all. An excellent option would be to take the neck part. The proportions of vegetables are approximate. You can change them to your liking. Wash all vegetables.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the meat into small pieces. Pour vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and fry the meat for 10-12 minutes until it changes color and begins to brown a little. Read about how to choose the ideal frying pan, as well as how to choose the right vegetable oil in separate articles, links at the end of the recipe.

   Cut the eggplants into pieces, add salt and cover with cold water. Leave to stand for 15-20 minutes to remove the bitterness.

   Peel and chop the onions and carrots. There is no need to chop very finely, as during stewing all the vegetables will become very soft.

   Chop the bell pepper and zucchini. You can take one type of pepper or different colors.

   Add onions and carrots to the meat in the pan. Fry everything for a couple more minutes. A characteristic aroma will appear from the onion.
