Meat in pots with potatoes

Cooking meat in pots and potatoes can be done in different ways. Let's start with what kind of meat you want to use.

For a dish in pots with meat, it is good as a chicken, as well as beef or pork. If you want, you can use giblets or liver. One pot usually takes about 300 or 350 grams of meat. Approximate calculation of products:

2-3 potatoes;

1 carrot;

1-2 onions;

1-3 heads of garlic, if desired;

Cheese, better firm, gram 150-200;

Mayonnaise or sour cream, to choose from. But do not mix.

You can also add mushrooms. Depending on the size of the pot and individual preferences, the mushrooms are either added in equal proportions, i.e. One to one, or two to one.

We begin the process called: "how to make meat in pots?"

Meat preparation

Meat should be cut into pieces and fried with spices until half cooked. There is an easier option for the stomach: first cook the meat, and then cut into slices. The broth that you got after this process should be left, we still need it.

Vegetables

Carrots and onions are fried together, you can add turmeric, then you will get a beautiful golden color. Potatoes should not be cooked, but if you want, you can also fry it. To my taste, it is better to put it raw, then it is well saturated with meat juice.

Preparation of clay pots

Pot it is better to hold in advance in the water for 15 minutes, so that the clay absorbed a little liquid. So the dish will be more gentle. The oven can not be warmed in advance, so as not to damage it due to a sharp drop in the temperature of the pot. Instead of soaking it is possible to lay a paper for baking inside the pot , then the clay will not absorb the smell and taste of the meat.

We collect everything together. First put the meat and squeeze garlic on it. Then add the fried onions with carrots and pour the pre-cut potatoes on top. Do not add ingredients to the top. Leave at least a couple of centimeters for air. We pour a quarter of a glass of broth, or boiled water with spices. Instead of water, you can use a piece of butter, somewhere a gram of 50. Pour it all with mayonnaise or sour cream and sprinkle it with grated cheese.

Close and put in a cold oven. Set the temperature at about 200 degrees and leave for an hour and prepare for 20 minutes.

For gourmets and those who like the combination of red wine and meat, I advise you to add a quarter of a glass of wine to the pot instead of the broth. Then the meat will be much tastier.

There is a good variation of this recipe: soy meat in pots with potatoes. Especially for those who follow their food, but they love delicious things. The calculation of products is the same.

The main thing to remember is that soy is not meat and its taste depends very much on those spices that you added. And yet there will be no animal fat, because you can add either mushrooms or butter. But for people on a diet I advise you to use vegetable broth, for example, beet or potato. Beetroot, naturally, can also be baked in a pot.

Soy must be boiled in salted water with spices about 15-20 minutes. We clean the potato and the cube mode. Turn the onion into rings, and grate the carrots. Cut into slices and fry together with onions, carrots and potatoes, until the potatoes are half ready. Pour the whole mixture into a pot, add a little water or broth, cover with mayonnaise and sprinkle with cheese. Keep in the oven for 40 minutes or an hour. In soy meat in pots with potatoes can be added still canned peas or corn.

And I'll open a little secret when cooking soy. When you fry it, add a couple of tablespoons of dark soy sauce, this will give the necessary flavor and taste. Also, soy sauce can be added to the pot.

This is the result of meat in pots with potatoes. Bon Appetit!
