👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and beef chunks and brown them on all sides. This may need to be done in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Add the quartered onions and whole garlic cloves to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions begin to soften.

Layer the diced carrots, potatoes, cabbage pieces, diced tomatoes, bell pepper chunks, green beans, and peas on top of the meat.

Season generously with salt and black pepper. Add the bay leaves.

Add just enough water to come up to the level of the vegetables, but not completely cover them. The meat and vegetables will release their own juices during cooking.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Using less liquid concentrates the flavors. - 6
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for at least 3 hours, or until the meat is very tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Low and slow cooking is key for tender meat and melded flavors. - 7
Stir occasionally, checking the liquid level and adding a little more water if it seems too dry. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Taste and adjust seasoning towards the end of cooking. - 8
Serve hot, traditionally with crusty bread to soak up the rich broth.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Let the stew rest for 10-15 minutes before serving for flavors to meld.
