The stew is a traditional common dish in many cuisines of the world. Thanks to cutting the meat into small pieces and stewing for a long time over low heat, it always turns out tender and soft. In this case, any type of meat can always be used. Beef, veal, pork, and lamb are also suitable here. There are a lot of variations of stewing meat, depending on the region of each country, something from yourself is added to the dish. For example, spices, vegetables, wine, sour cream, etc. Today I want to propose a way to cook pork in tomato sauce with carrots and onions. But depending on the season, you can use other vegetables like fresh or frozen green peas, corn kernels, zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, etc.
It turns out meat in tomato sauce is always very tasty, juicy, aromatic, and most importantly satisfying. It will not leave indifferent any of the eaters. The main thing is not to stew the vegetables so that they remain slightly solid, so they will retain more vitamins, and the taste will be much better. Overcooked vegetables can turn into a mashed, incomprehensible mass. It is also important to keep as much juice as possible in the pieces of meat to make the dish juicy. It is also worth noting that the food can be served both as an everyday dish and to decorate a festive feast.

Cooking meat with vegetables in tomato:
1. Wash the pork, remove the film, fat and veins. Wipe off with a paper towel and cut into medium pieces. By this time, heat the skillet with vegetable oil well. When the oil begins to smoke, then you can start cooking, then put all the meat in the pan.
2. Fry the pork over high heat for a short time so that it only grasps on all sides with a light crust, which will prevent the juice from coming out of the pieces. Stir it several times. Frequent stirring will provoke the release of a large amount of juice.
3. Onions with carrots and garlic, peel, wash and cut into pieces. Chop another skillet with butter and put the vegetables to fry.
4. Saute them over medium heat until light translucent, stirring occasionally.
5. Put the fried vegetables and tomato paste in a pan with meat. Also salt, pepper and add your favorite spices.
