    1. Start with the chicken. Rinse it, pat it dry, and cut it into pieces — any size you and your family like. 2. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet and set it over high heat. Add the chicken pieces and fry them until golden. Transfer the cooked chicken to a pot and set it aside for now. 3. Peel, rinse, and slice one carrot. You'll also need a bell pepper — wash it, seed it, and cut it into pieces or strips. Use more pepper if your family likes it; if you're not big on pepper, chop it very fine so it disappears into the dish but still lends its aroma. Set the skillet back over the heat, add a little oil, add the carrot, and sauté. After a few minutes add the pepper and sauté that too. 4. You'll need four medium tomatoes — finely chop or grate them. Add the tomatoes to the skillet with the carrot and pepper and fry everything for a few minutes, then add it all to the chicken in the pot. Pour in a little water, season with salt and pepper, cover, set over the heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes. 5. Take half a kilogram of green beans. Rinse them, trim the ends, and cut them however you like — into two or three pieces, or more. Put the beans in water; once it boils, cook them for another 7 minutes, then transfer them to the pot with the chicken. 6. When the pot comes back to a boil, simmer the chicken and beans for 15–20 minutes. The beans will be soft but not quite done — add the finely chopped garlic and a few black peppercorns. Then turn off the heat and let the dish rest on the stove for about ten minutes.
