Eggplant, meat and zucchini
The good thing about stewed meat is that it turns outsofter and juicier than its fried version. In addition, when combined with vegetables, it is a complete dish, for which you do not even need to prepare a side dish. We will share another recipe that is not so difficult to master. Let's get started? Ingredients:
- two elastic eggplants
- 300 grams of fresh beef
- zucchini - two pieces
- one red and one yellow bell peppers
- four tomatoes
- onions - one piece
- one large potato
- one carrot
- fresh coriander
- three cloves of garlic
- olive oil - for frying
- 40 grams of fresh parsley (or dill)
- salt
- two pinches of ground (black) pepper
Method of preparation:Cut the raw beef into strips or pieces and fry in a preheated saucepan with vegetable oil, then put it in a deep dish with a thick bottom. Then work on the eggplants. Cut them into four parts lengthwise and crosswise, then add salt. If the vegetable is not bitter, you can leave the skin on. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and put the medium-sized potatoes and eggplants in it. Now cut the carrots and zucchini into cubes, and the onion into half rings, and combine them with the above ingredients. When the vegetables change color, add the chopped bell peppers and mix everything thoroughly. Modern tomatoes grown in artificial conditions often have a very thick skin, which we suggest you get rid of. To do this, pour boiling water over the vegetable and hold it in a bowl for about two minutes, then rinse with cold water. Due to the temperature change, the skin will burst, so you can easily remove it. Now grate the tomatoes and pour the resulting puree over the meat. Put the prepared vegetables in the same pan. Add salt and pepper to your taste. Mix all the ingredients with a wooden kitchen spatula, add a little water and chopped cilantro. Leave the dish to stew for 25 minutes. Serve the finished dish, sprinkled with crushed garlic and dill, in portioned plates. You can use sour cream as a gravy. Meat can be cooked in different ways: steamed, stewed or fried. In the latter case, it comes out dry and tough. Therefore, we recommend cooking it in a small amount of liquid. This can be regular water, tomato juice or meat broth. Eggplants and other vegetables go perfectly with beef, lamb or pork. Fresh coriander or basil, cumin and other spices will add a special aroma to your dish. We recommend reading:
