Preparation
Step 1
You can use lamb on the bone, as I did, or just meat without bones. Cut the lamb into pieces beforehand. The set of vegetables can vary - replace or swap them as you like. Choose vegetables to your taste.
Step 2
Place the cauldron (kazan) on the stove, pour in vegetable oil, and heat until hot. Add the prepared lamb pieces. As the meat cooks, some juice will appear. Cook the meat in its own juice under a lid for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally so it cooks evenly.
Step 3
The meat will completely change color, and the amount of juice will reduce significantly.
Step 4
Peel the onion and carrot, rinse them. Wash the bell pepper and remove the core. Cut the onion, carrot, and pepper into pieces of any shape.
Step 5
Add the vegetables to the cauldron with the meat. Stir and stew together for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Peel the potatoes, cut them into large chunks, and place into the cauldron. Season with salt and spices to taste. I use ground pepper and a little paprika. Pour in some hot water - the amount depends on how much broth you prefer. Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes. (Simmering is about 185-200°F / 85-93°C).
Step 7
Cut zucchini into large pieces. Chop the tomatoes.
Step 8
Add the zucchini and tomatoes to the cauldron. Press a few garlic cloves and add them too. Stir everything and simmer together for another 10 minutes. During this time, the zucchini will cook through.
Step 9
Stewed lamb with vegetables is ready! Divide into plates and serve hot. Enjoy!
