After all, in this case, you do not have to waste time separating meat from bone, which will make cooking quicker and less troublesome. So, let's start cooking. First, peel potatoes from the peel and cut it with thin circles (about three millimeters thick). Then put it in a frying pan or other form, having pre-lubricated it with a small amount of vegetable oil. In principle, this can and does not do, but so you once again "insure" the dish from burning. Now thinly chop the peeled onions and cover them with potatoes. The third layer of the casserole consists of fillets cut into thin slices, and the fourth - from tomato mugs. If you use cherry tomatoes, they can simply be divided into two parts. So, when all the layers of the dish are put in a bowl, pour a small amount of water into it (so that it only slightly covers the bottom), sprinkle the products with vegetable or olive oil and sprinkle with salt, and also with black (ground) pepper.
