   While the weather is pampering us with clear days, it’s time to cook a delicious dish in a cauldron on the grill. A wonderful recipe for the basics in Tatar with photos to help you! In the original, this dish is made from beef, but I used pork - and it turned out no less tasty! This dish takes a long time to prepare and comes out quite spicy, so if you are not a fan of spicy taste, you can add a little less pepper.

   Let's start the cooking process by preparing all the ingredients. Cut the meat into oblong slices, approximately 1x1x2 cm. Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Cut carrots and cucumbers into large slices. Cut the chili pepper into rings, chop the garlic and herbs. Cut the potatoes into cubes.

   Pour in water so that it covers the meat by 2-3 cm. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cover with a lid - leave to simmer for 30-40 minutes until cooked.

   
8. Step 8

   At the same time, in a frying pan or in another cauldron, fry the potatoes in vegetable oil until half cooked and take them out into a plate.

   In a frying pan, fry the carrots until tender, add cucumbers to it and fry for 3 minutes all together.
