Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make pork, potato, and zucchini pots? Start by gathering your ingredients.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Cut the pork into pieces.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Heat the oil in a skillet and brown the meat.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    While the meat cooked, I peeled and cut up the potatoes. Then heat oil in a skillet and add the potatoes.

  5. Step 5:

    Peel and slice the carrots.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Chop the onion.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Add the onion to the meat and cook until done. Divide it among the pots and season with salt and pepper.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Grate the zucchini on the fine side of a box grater.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Layer the zucchini on top of the meat. As it cooks, it breaks down and becomes a gravy for the meat.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Brown the potatoes and carrots just lightly. Since my vegetables are young and tender, it's important not to overcook them — you just want a bit of color. To do that, get the skillet good and hot and don't stir until one side is browned. Layer the potatoes and carrots on top of the zucchini.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    Rinse and chop some fresh herbs (I used parsley).

  12. Step 12:

    Add a little water to thin the sauce.

    Season with salt and pepper. Pour it over the potatoes.

  15. Step 15:

    Step 15

    Seal the pots with foil or lids and bake for 25 minutes at 400°F (200°C).

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16

    Meanwhile, grate the cheese on the fine side of a box grater.

  17. Step 17:

    Step 17

    When the time is up, sprinkle the potatoes with the cheese and return the pots to the oven for another 10 minutes, this time uncovered.

  18. Step 18:

    Step 18

    Garnish with fresh herbs to serve. Enjoy!

  • Any cheese works for this dish — hard, semi-hard, or a soft one like mozzarella. Just make sure it's good quality, tasty, made without milk-fat substitutes, and that it melts well.
  • Keep in mind that every oven is different, so the temperature and cooking time may vary from what's given here. Get to know your own oven's quirks for the best baking results.
  • Every cooking oil is only good up to a certain point — its smoke point, where it starts to burn and form harmful compounds, including carcinogens. Keep an eye on your frying temperature and pick an oil suited to high heat.
