Pork Zharkoye with Potatoes, Carrots, and Onion
Make zharkoye (pork stew) for dinner! Hearty and mouthwatering! Pork zharkoye with potatoes is a delicious, filling main dish. It's not complicated to make, but there are a couple of tricks that make it as tasty as possible. Don't salt the meat before cooking — that helps it come out soft and juicy. If you have the time, you can marinate the meat beforehand for extra flavor. Simmer everything over low heat so the ingredients really soak up each other's flavors and aromas.
Zharkoye is nothing new — many of us have known it since childhood. It's made with pork, beef, lamb, rabbit, or poultry. This recipe walks you through the pork version. Which cut should you pick? Shoulder or ham works well — those cuts are juicy and tender. It's best to use a cast-iron pot, since it holds heat well. 1. Rinse the pork under running water and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the meat into pieces, trimming off any excess fat. 2. Now prep the vegetables. Peel and wash the potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Peel the onion and dice it. Seed the bell pepper, wash and dry it, then cut it into strips. Peel the carrots and cut them into cubes, but not too small. Peel the garlic and press it. 3. Pour vegetable oil into a cast-iron pot and set it over the heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meat and brown it on all sides over high heat. 4. Then add the onion and carrot, lower the heat, and keep frying for another 3 minutes. Now add the potatoes, bell pepper, and garlic. Pour in the water (or broth), and add the tomato paste, salt, bay leaf, and allspice peppercorns. 5. Simmer everything over low heat, covered, for one hour. If there's not enough liquid, add a bit more water. Portion out the hot zharkoye. Wash and chop the dill and scatter it over the dish. Enjoy!
