Preparation
Step 1
You can use any type of meat: pork, beef, chicken, or veal. I’m using pork. Choose boneless cuts like shoulder, ham, or tenderloin. You can use canned tomatoes in their own juice, fresh tomatoes, or both.
Step 2
Cut the meat into small pieces. Heat a skillet until hot and add a bit of vegetable oil. Add the meat and fry for 5–7 minutes until it starts to brown.
Step 3
Meanwhile, peel the onion and rinse it under cold water to prevent eye irritation while chopping. Slice it into half-rings or smaller pieces.
Step 4
Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the meat. Stir and fry together for another 3–4 minutes until the onions release a pleasant aroma.
Step 5
Clean the bell pepper by removing the core and slice it into strips. Add it to the skillet.
Step 6
Season with salt and your favorite spices. Pour in some hot water. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 15–20 minutes until the meat softens.
Step 7
Mash the canned tomatoes slightly and add them to the skillet. Simmer for another 5–7 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 8
Meat with bell peppers and tomatoes is ready. Serve as-is or with a side dish of your choice. Enjoy!
