Stew is considered to be versatile dish. You can take it with you on a hike or use it in combination with side dishes. Often, salads are prepared on the basis of canned meat. Of course, you can go to the store and buy your favorite product, but many housewives prefer to cook the stew themselves. This is not surprising, since in the end it turns out completely natural composition of your favorite meat. Like any other matter, cooking stew includes important aspects. Consider them in order.

Features cooking stew

  1. Absolutely any meat is suitable for homemade stew. It can be chicken, lamb, rabbit, pork, or even a beaver and lamb.
  2. The duration of cooking depends on the type of meat selected. For example, pork stew languishes longer than a product based on chicken or rabbit.
  3. Experienced housewives, through trial and error, brought out their own cooking technology for the stew using an oven or a multicooker.
  4. The main advantage of the stew is the availability of components and scrap materials. For the procedure, you will need meat pulp, sterilized jars of small size (0.4-1 l.), Pan.
  5. If you prefer to eat pork, lamb, beef stew, it is important to choose the right meat for cooking. The best option are fresh fillet pieces.
  6. You can use cutting, on the basis of which everyone's favorite goulash or ase is prepared. If you buy pork, make sure that the surface is covered with fat. Before cooking this layer must be cut off.
  7. Rabbit stew prepared from the leg, chicken - from the thighs. It is important to remember that the stew is made only from chilled meat. Do not use frozen raw materials.
  8. As mentioned earlier, the stew rolls into jars. Dishes must first be sterilized in a convenient way (water bath, oven). The same applies to the covers, they can be tin or plastic.
  9. The stew is kept in a cool place without moisture, especially if it is twisted with tin lids. If you comply with the conditions of storage, as well as roll up the finished canned food in a sterile container, the stew will last about 3 years.
  10. If nonfat meat is used for cooking the stew, the composition can be “diluted” in melted lard in moderation. Such a move will increase the duration of storage and saturate the dish.
  11. Veal is not suitable for stew, since it is significantly inferior to beef in taste. Choose a large piece that you later divide yourself.
  12. If the meat is not mixed with water, the average cooking time is about 3-4 hours. It all depends on the amount and quantity of additional ingredients.
  13. Stew comes from the concept of "stewing". For this procedure, thick-walled and thick-bottomed dishes with high sides are used. The ideal option is a cauldron.

Nowadays, when you can buy everything in a store, not many decide on cooking stew at homex  : you need to make a lot of time and effort, and a one-time purchase of meat will be expensive. However, the view that cooking stew  - it is hard work that does not pay off either financially or morally - erroneously. Classic recipe  Homemade stew is simple and not too laborious.

First, as with any other preservation, which you independently harvest in the summer, in the case of stew you know exactly what is included in its composition (and this is only high-quality meat, salt, spices and some water, and no GMO, soy, meat waste, etc.). And if you buy food in the village from the owners, then you are sure of the quality of the meat itself, which very few residents of big cities can boast.

Secondly, such a stew for the price is not more expensive than the store, but you eat it with pleasure, without fear for your health and the health of your household.

Thirdly, cooking stew  happens, as a rule, in winter, when there is not so much other work, all conservation is already in the cellar.

The recipe for homemade stew provides the amount of food needed to prepare 18-20 half-liter cans of stew.

Ingredients

  • Fatty pork - 3-4 kg. You can buy a whole pig head for savings. The average head weight is 9-10 kg. The cost today - 11-13 UAH. per kilogram.

To stew was not too fat, cheek can be cooked separately. Method of preparation - like a pork. Ears can be used in the preparation of jelly. The rest of the meat and fat cut from the bone - it turns out just 3-4 kg.

  • beef - 3-4 kg.

Again, you can save - buy a subcap, about 25-27 UAH. per kilogram. In the stew, Podcherevina goes well.

  • water - 1.5-2.5 l
  • salt - 2.5-3 tbsp.
  • spices: bay leaf, black pepper peas, allspice to taste.

Cooking

Carefully wash the meat and fat, cut the meat into pieces 2-3 cm, lard - 1 cm. We put everything in a saucepan, add water and set on fire. After boiling, simmer on low heat for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally. Half an hour before the end of cooking add salt, bay leaf, spices.

Then we pour into clean non-sterile jars (the most optimal jars are 0.5 l.), Cover with lids (but do not roll them up) and sterilize in boiling water for 15-20 minutes.

Sterilization

It is done this way: we put a towel on the bottom of a large wide pan (on a few jars) with boiling water, put the jars filled and covered with lids on it so that they are in the water “on the hangers”, and sterilize over low heat. After sterilization, we take out special tongs (or a towel - not to burn yourself), roll it up and put it on a slow cooling under the blanket. Everything.

If you calculate - the cost of one half-liter jar of stew, cooked at home, will be a little more than 11 UAH. (1.4 dollars.) On occasion, see how much this “strategic product” in the supermarket costs - you will be pleasantly surprised.

This recipe is a real “lifeline” in case there is no possibility or desire to cook - it’s enough to cook porridge, add your homemade canned meat and a tasty lunch of natural meat without harmful additives and E-nis is ready.

If you try a real stew, then fall in love with this dish once and for all. Unfortunately, almost the entire assortment of stew, offered by stores, even half does not correspond to the tenderness and magical taste, which can boast of real stewed canned meat. Fortunately, you can easily cook it yourself, especially if there is a slow cooker on the farm. Pork stew in a slow cooker always turns out so tender that it literally melts in your mouth, and in this article we will tell you how to cook it.

Let's start with the most simple recipewhich is the basis of all other ways of cooking pork stew in a slow cooker. You can change the taste of the dish at your discretion by adding certain ingredients, but even if you cook such an "ordinary" homemade stew of pork in a slow cooker, you can win the hearts of even the most fastidious gourmets.

For cooking you will need:

  • boneless pork - 2 kg;
  • black pepper (peas) - 10-14 pieces;
  • salt - to taste;
  • bay leaf - 2 pcs.

In the process of stewing, the meat loses much in volume, so from 2 kg of raw pork you get a little less than 1 kg of stew.

Prepare a pork stew in a slow cooker easier than ever:

  1. Rinse the meat in cold water  and dry with paper towels.
  2. Cut the pork into medium sized cubes. It is important that they are approximately the same, otherwise those that are smaller will be cooked faster than the larger ones, and the stew consistency will not be so tender.
  3. Remove veins and films from meat.
  4. Put the pork in the crock-pot. Sunflower oil or fat should not be added, since pork is already oily, and during temperature processing it will release a sufficient amount of moisture, so that you can also refuse to add water.
  5. Install the program "Quenching" and set on the timer 5 hours.
  6. After the beep, sprinkle the meat with salt, add black pepper and bay leaf. Stir the ingredients properly so that the spices are evenly distributed, lower the lid and leave the pork stew in the slow cooker on the “Preheat” so that it does not cool.
  7. At this time, prepare sterile jars if you intend to store stews longer than 2-3 months. But usually tasty dish  it is possible to stretch except for a week or two, and if this is just your case, then it is not necessary to sterilize the jars - you can simply wash and dry them thoroughly.
  8. Spread the pork stew in a slow cooker over the cans, evenly fill with fragrant broth, not adding 2-3 cm cans to the neck. Without waiting for the cans to cool down, close them with iron lids (also sterilized) and put them in a warm place until they are completely cooled.

Useful advice: After such a long stewing all the details of the multicooker will smell like pork. The aroma is, of course, pleasant, but it will interrupt the smell of other dishes that you will prepare in the future. To neutralize it, pour a liter of cold water into the crock-pot of the multi-cooker and place half a lemon in it. Put on the "brew" for 15 minutes. After this procedure, the multicooker will completely get rid of any odors.

Stew of pork in a crock-pot with rosemary

Many love the stew, but buying it in the stores is not at risk, because this idea is like walking through a minefield blindfolded. Neither the famous brands, nor the high cost, nor the advice of friends can serve as a guarantee that you will get a high-quality stew of real meat, and not by-products and fat. Therefore, we suggest not to create problems for yourself, but to cook a pork stew in a slow cooker on your own, especially since it is not difficult at all!


To prepare a half liter jar of stew, you will need the following products:

  • boneless pork - 1.5 kg;
  • rosemary - 0.5 tsp;
  • bay leaf - 2 pieces;
  • salt - to taste.

If you want more stew, increase the amount raw meat  and seasoning accordingly when taking into account that 1 kg of pork is boiled down twice.

  1. Rinse the meat in cold water, dry and cut into small cubes.
  2. Put the meat in a slow cooker and put on the "Quenching" for 7 hours. You do not need to add water, because the pork itself is fatty and juicy. If you add water, the broth during the cooling will not turn into a jelly and it will turn out not so concentrated and fragrant. By the way, the time of stewing depends on the quality of the meat. If you get tough pork, simmer it for 7 hours, and if you are lucky to buy tender meat, 5-6 hours will be enough.
  3. Lower the multicooker lid and leave the meat to stew for 3-4 hours. Do not open the lid too often so as not to release evaporated moisture (future fat broth). If after the indicated time the whole broth has evaporated, add not a large number of hot waterotherwise the dish may burn. But most often this happens with beef, because, unlike pork, it has very little fat.
  4. An hour before readiness add all the spices and herbs to the crock-pot, mix, lower the lid and cook until the signal.
  5. Before you put the stew of pork in a slow cooker in a jar, check it with salt and dosolite if necessary.

Properly cooked homemade stew should have a nice brownish tint. Put it in a jar, thoroughly tamp and fill with fatty broth.
