Step by step cooking of zucchini with meat in pots:
1. Wash the meat under running water and pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut the veins with the foil and cut into medium-sized pieces. Place the pan on the stove, add oil and heat. Make a large flame and add the meat. Fry it over high heat until golden brown. It is not necessary to bring it to readiness, tk. it will still languish in the oven. It is necessary that it is only covered with a ruddy crust.
2. Add the diced courgettes and diced onions to the skillet. If the zucchini is mature, peel them first and remove the seeds. Screw on the temperature and fry the food over medium heat for about 7 minutes. At the end of the cooking season, season them with salt and ground pepper.
3. Select portion pots with a capacity of approximately 350 to 500 g for one eater and place the fried meat with zucchini and onions in them. Fill the pots halfway with food.
4. Peel the potatoes, wash, dice and fill the pots. One pot usually contains 1-1.5 tubers. Season them with salt, pepper and any spices.
5. Pour sour cream over the food, add bay leaf and finely chopped garlic.
6. Close the pot with a lid and send to the oven. Turn on 180 degrees and cook for about an hour until all ingredients are tender. Please note that the pots should be placed in a cold brazier. Since ceramic pots do not tolerate temperature extremes, they can crack. Serve hot.
