Possupata is a delicious and affordable food

Casserole dishes are easy to prepare and tasty to eat. After digesting the raw materials, the casserole is cooked as if by itself.

When you start making casserole food, leave the Steamed Steak Meat in the store.

Inexpensive carcass parts that enjoy a long stew and contain connective tissue and even bones are suitable for casserole dishes. Try, for example, a boneless kick, neck, shoulder, forelegs, chest and also roasts.

Pork that melts in your mouth

Pork is at its tastiest after a long maturation. A mouth or kick that ripens tenderly in the mouth is one of the best choices for a succulent pork stew.

Great flavors with pork are apples, onions, mustard, fresh herbs and cider.

Red wine for cattle

Of the beef, the neck and chest, as well as the kicks and roasts, are best suited for the pot. Be sure to leave the pieces of meat large enough when cutting, as the meat will shrink during cooking.

Create an unbeatable taste combo by seasoning a beef pot with garlic, rosemary, onion, root vegetables and squeezing plenty of red wine into the broth.

The rabbit is brewed for a long time

The dry rabbit is at its best stewed for a long time in a tasty sauce.

During the long cooking time, the rabbit meat comes off the bones and becomes juicy in the sauce. The bones give flavor to the sauce and are removed from the pan before eating.

Good taste pairs for rabbits are tomato, onion, garlic, fresh herbs and white wines.
