Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 2 hours
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make vegetable stew in a cauldron with meat and potatoes on a campfire? Prepare all the products according to the list. I used pork pulp. You can cook from beef and even poultry. The set of vegetables can also change at your discretion. I usually combine eggplant, green beans and bell pepper.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Rinse the meat and dry it with paper napkins to remove any remaining moisture. Cut the pork into small identical pieces. Install the cauldron. Pour odorless vegetable oil and heat it well. Send the pork to roast.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Stirring, cook on a high flame until a golden appetizing shade appears on the pieces.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Cut the peeled onions into large cubes. Send it to the cauldron in an even layer, do not mix. Pour in 40-50 ml of water and cover the cauldron with a lid. Leave on a moderate fire for 5-10 minutes.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    At this time, take care of the rest of the vegetables. Peel the carrots and garlic. Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the core. If you take peppers of different colors, then the finished stew will look more appetizing. Cut the carrots into circles, the peppers into half rings or cubes, and cut the garlic into 2-4 pieces. Send everything to the cauldron. Stir and cook under the lid for about 10-15 minutes.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Peel the potatoes, cut off the attachment points of the stalk from the eggplant. Cut the potatoes and the blue ones into large pieces. Rinse the tomatoes and cut them into 4-8 pieces. Add everything to the cauldron.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Remove the tendrils from the bean pods, if any. Young pods usually do not have them. Cut the beans into small pieces. Add to all the components in the cauldron. Add salt to taste, pepper and sprinkle with your favorite spices. I used 0.5 tsp of cumin, paprika, suneli hops and seasonings for meat.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Pour in the required amount of water. I added a little less than 1 liter. If you want to get a more liquid version of the stew, then use more water. Mix everything well. After boiling, remove a few logs from under the cauldron, cover the cauldron with a lid and leave to languish on a weak fire until all the components are ready. It usually takes about 1 hour.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Open the lid from time to time and check the readiness of potatoes and beans. You may need a little less or vice versa more time for cooking. When the stew is ready, open the lid of the cauldron and leave the stew over the smoldering embers for 5-10 minutes so that the dish is saturated with the aromas of the fire. Sprinkle everything with finely chopped herbs.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Mix and let it brew for a while. Done, you can serve!

The amount of each component can be adjusted. It is permissible to exclude potatoes from the dish, then you will get a lighter version of the stew. 

Bon appetit!

Tomatoes in this recipe can be replaced with ketchup, tomatoes in their own juice or tomato paste. Choose the proportions to your taste.

How to remove the bitterness from eggplant? Cut the eggplant into plates, circles or cubes, add salt, leave for about 10 minutes until the juice is released. Drain the resulting liquid, rinse the eggplants and start cooking. 

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
