Meat with prunes. The recipe is classic

Take one kilogram of any meat and to it 150grams of prunes and 150 grams of onions. You will also need peppercorns, vegetable oil and cinnamon, but cinnamon already at will. You can add carrots, too, not bad, although I did not notice a special effect on the taste. So, where do we start? And start with finely chopped onions. It should be lightly fried in vegetable oil. If you use carrots, then add it after the onion. Cut the fillet into pieces with a thickness of about one centimeter. Pieces can be either small blocks or whole layers of meat. If the pieces are large enough, they should be fried on one side for about three to four minutes, and then turned over. If small - then just stir evenly. In about fifteen minutes, add the prunes and about a glass of water. Then add salt, pepper and cinnamon and leave to stew for another 40 minutes. Then mix and put out for another fifteen minutes. Long, very problematic, but tasty.

Meat with prunes. The recipe with dried apricots.

Slightly easier pork with dried apricots. First we prepare marinade. Mix red dry wine, pineapple or pear juice in equal proportions, spices to taste, a couple of spoons of honey. You can add mustard and a little soy sauce. Dry the dried apricots and add them to the marinade. Cut the meat into pieces. Approximately, one piece - one serving, rub it with salt and stuffed with cloves, and then leave in marinade for at least five hours (I left for the night). We put the mashed meat into a sleeve for baking, or wrap it in a foil, while we carefully coat the meat with dried apricots and pieces of pear (you can have pineapple). Meat with prunes in foil bake until golden crust at a temperature of 180-200 degrees, and this is about forty minutes. Marinade can be cooked a little, so that it is slightly thickened, and served as a sauce for a side dish. It has a very unusual sweet and sour taste.
