This recipe is especially useful because all components are placed in pots at once, without preliminary heat treatment. In this case, it takes less time for preparatory work, but the pots should be in the oven a little longer than with pre-frying the ingredients. It is this method of cooking food that is the most dietary, because there is no oil at all. In addition, food cooked in dishes is highly digestible and has the ability to restore the body's strength.
It is also important to be careful about cutting the food, because each product requires a different cooking time. For example, meat should be cut into small pieces and vegetables should be cut into larger pieces. During cooking, the top layer of food may dry out, so the last layer should be onion rings, tomato slices, or a little drizzle with mayonnaise and sour cream. For the same reason, the pot should always be covered with a lid. If it is absent, then cover the container with foil or a piece of dough. It is equally important to periodically look into the pots during heat treatment. If you see that there is not enough liquid, then pour in some water. But it must be at a hot temperature, because pots do not like temperature changes.
