Meat in pots with potatoes
Cooking meat in pots with potatoes can be different. Let's start with what kind of meat you want to use.
For dish in pots with meat goes well aschicken, and 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 proportion, 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 withspices 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 addturmeric, then you 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
Pots better to hold in advance in the water for 15 minutes,so that the clay absorbed some liquid. So the dish will be more gentle. The oven is not warmed in advance, so as not to damage due to the sharp temperature drop 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 we put meat and squeeze garlic on it. Then add the fried onions with carrots and pour the pre-cut into cubes potatoes. 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. Put the temperature at about 200 degrees and leave for an hour and prepare for 20 minutes.
For gourmets and those who love 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 watch 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 tastevery much depends 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.
Soya must be boiled in salted water withspices about 15-20 minutes. Potatoes are cleaned and the cube mode. Turn the onion into rings, and grate the carrots. Cut into pieces 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 soybean meat in pots with potatoes, you can also add canned peas or corn.
And I'll open a little secret when cookingsoybeans. 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.
That's what turned out meat in pots with potatoes. Bon Appetit!
