Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you bake vegetables with meat in pots? Gather your ingredients. Any meat works — I used pork. Rinse it and pat it dry with a paper towel. Choose the vegetables by taste or by what you have on hand.
Step 2:

Wash, peel, and cut all the vegetables into large cubes. There's no need to chop them fine — stewing in the pots will soften them almost to a puree.
Step 3:

Cut the meat and onion into small pieces as well.
Step 4:

Sauté the onion in hot oil, then add the pork and fry them together quickly. Keep the heat high so the meat sears rather than releasing its juices — that way it stays soft and juicy.
Step 5:

Layer the seared pork and onions into the bottom of the pots (this makes 2 pots).
Step 6:

Fry the rest of the vegetables in the same pan: carrots and potatoes first, then add the cabbage. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7:

Once the vegetables are fried, spoon them into the pots on top of the meat.
Step 8:

Top with tomato quarters. You can peel the tomatoes first if you like.
Step 9:

Bake the meat and vegetables in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for about an hour. The exact time depends on your oven, the size of the pots, and the type of meat.
Step 10:

Once you're sure the dish is done — the meat and potatoes should be tender — take the pots out of the oven and serve right away. You can plate the meat and vegetables, but serving them straight from the individual pots is far more fun. Enjoy!

You can serve the vegetables and meat in pots with any pickles or marinated vegetables, garnished with a sprig of fresh herbs.
Besides pork, you can use any other meat in this dish. Just keep in mind that the cooking time, along with the flavor and calorie count, will change. Beef, for example, takes longer to cook than pork, while chicken or turkey takes less.
How do you peel tomatoes easily? Wash them and score a shallow X on top with a sharp knife. Drop them into boiling water for 1–2 minutes, then remove, cool slightly, and slip off the skins.
Keep in mind that every oven is different, so the temperature and cooking time may vary from what's given here. For any baked dish to turn out well, take advantage of some helpful tips on how ovens behave!
