Cooking method

This dish was born in my head and has taken root in my kitchen for a long time. And naturally, from my laziness .. It was, scary to say, almost 21 years ago, my mother was undergoing surgery in the hospital, I was raising my older brother, who broke his leg, and we were morally supported - my brother's best friend (it so happened that his wife just had toxicosis, and she cooked of course, but ....) and my then fiance. That is, I had to feed three men. And at the same time I started a grandiose general cleaning-washing-ironing for my mother’s return, and one day they were brought in that I realized late that I didn’t go to the market, and there’s not much in the refrigerator, and soon a support group would come, they needed to be fed, and brother-plaster leg, fed up with TV and pies, ~~yells~~ asks when ~~to eat~~ and what we will eat .. And I cooked from what was in the refrigerator, since the meat was defrosted. The boys really liked it when their mother arrived, I already prepared this blue specially for her, she, and then everyone really liked it.
And today we will cook from this:
We clean the meat from veins and films, and cut into pieces.
Coarsely cut the vegetables. I chopped the onions and bell peppers on a Berner grater, on the largest insert.
To be honest, I was planning to cook in Štebik, but when I cut everything, it turned out that it couldn't fit in Štebik, so I took out a cauldron.
Pour vegetable oil into the cauldron, when it warms up, lays out the meat, fry it until a light golden-pink color, salt and pepper a little,
then, one by one lay out and fry a little together with meat,
onion,
carrot,
bell pepper,
potatoes,
zucchini ,
We mix each layer so that the meat is under the vegetables, as if inside.
Fill everything with water (or broth), let it boil, salt again, add bay leaf, garlic (you can finely chop it, pass it through a press, as you like, this time I put whole cloves) and simmer over low heat until the meat is ready ...
But! In this case, this is not quite the original recipe, since then I had lamb, and in addition to the above vegetables, there were eggplants and tomatoes, as well as a lot of greens, including basil and cilantro. Then I did not add vegetable oil! The lamb was just chocolate, fatty and tender, and I put it in fat on a heated cauldron, and it was cooked in its own juice.
Why am I writing this? Besides, this dish has many variations. I made it with lobio, and cauliflower, and green beans, and added nuts, and cooked without meat at all. Somehow, I, in turn, fried all the ingredients in a separate frying pan in a large amount of oil, threw them on a sieve, then put them in layers in a cauldron and stewed them out. You can cut it as your heart desires, coarsely, finely, in cubes, cubes .. When I bought a BoschKubik, I didn’t crush on it unless only scrambled eggs, and naturally cut vegetables into this dish into small cubes. Bell pepper is better to take multi-colored, the dish turns out to be more elegant. In general, girls and boys, for a real Khlebopechkinets, this recipe is very suitable, since our imagination is exuberant ...
For myself, I brought out the best option for the composition and size of the cut, this is just the initial option.
I do not pretend to be the originality of the recipe, perhaps there is already one on HP, I honestly looked, but did not find it.
As for the name, my brother calls it "FOOD", someone calls it stew with meat, someone calls it sauce ...

And I often cook this, only I try to cut the zucchini smaller so that my husband does not find))))
Variations are different - just from what was found in the refrigerator

Song

My aunt cooks that. Only she calls it "vegetable garden". That is, everything that is in the garden. And this recipe is obtained as a variation of the "vegetable garden" with meat. Delicious!

Ninelle, in our summer this dish (stew with meat) is our favorite food.
I just add tomatoes.

Ninelle, what a beauty !!! And just before vegetable season! With lamb - this is what ...
Thank you!
I do something like this quite often. And what is especially pleasing is the possibility of varying the ingredients. And every time - a different taste!

Ninelle

yudinel, me too, only this time, I was religiously sure that there are tomatoes at home, and that my mother bought eggplants ..

Ninelle,
Great FOOD! I will definitely try! And how much in the staff to cook such a dish with turkey and on what mode?
Thanks for the recipe!

Ninelle

Katya1234, mmmm ... I was planning to fry the turkey and vegetables on the roast, and for the soup for 7-10 minutes ... But you can ask Masha, she is in Shteba, she understands better. Or Tanyulya, she's a multispecialist.

Caprice

Something tells me that chickpeas and a little turmeric are asked for there
And serve it all with couscous

Bes7vetrov

I just cooked almost the same dish, but with beef. While she was cutting vegetables in large quantities, she fried meat in Shtebe, then laid out all the vegetables, seasoned, poured half a multi-glass of water with a tablespoon of mayonnaise. I set the "meat" for 20 minutes. There were a lot of vegetables.
But so delicious!

Oh ... I've been cooking this dish for all 12 years of marriage. ) And before that, my mother constantly cooked this from about 7 years old. And even then, when I was 7 years old, I came up with a name for this wonderful dish: "Pig food". Well, for some reason, it seemed to the child that it was my mother who cooked for the pigs, everything that is - she left everything in the cauldron and put it out. But I loved him very much. I still remember: as soon as my mother cooks "Pig meal" there was no limit to the joy.

Now I understand that this is a stew with meat. Or without meat, as you like. But the name has still taken root in all newly created families.

Ninelle

Caprice, we are waiting for the photo report! With turmeric and couscous!

Ninelle

Bes7vetrov, and the meat did not have a lot of 20 minutes? I expose 20 minutes when the frozen meat is a piece of the king in Štebik.
And here it is cut and already fried?

Ninelle

inka_kot, nooo, my mother, in her childhood, called pig food something completely unimaginable, for example, a sorrel torn by hands (naturally, never washed) and mixed in deep risk with bread and sugar. And her younger cousin, whom nothing at all could be fed, cracked both cheeks!

The most interesting thing is that in my environment, no one cooked such a stew! Despite the fact that the family is, in principle, "cooking" and large. And then they lived in the Caucasus, where God himself ordered to cook from everything that grows.

Bes7vetrov

Ninelle, I have a lot of meat there, in large pieces .. Therefore, I made it in a 6 liter Shteba, and not in Moulinex))) did not fit into that bowl. And set 20 minutes out of the old habit. The meat and potatoes are strong, from broccoli, respectively, only the smell remained))), the peppers and carrots are soft, I have not yet met onions)))

Clearly, I have a five-liter Shtebik, while I look at the big one and lick my lips. By the way, I never did it with beef, I even did it with nutria, but somehow I didn't have to do it with beef. But the most favorite option is with lamb.
