Braised pork in a pot. My interpretation of Bulgarian recipe of Guvech with a twist. Really good!👌

meat

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu provides a plant-based protein option.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add diced meat and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Stir in chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add diced bell peppers, carrots, and potatoes; stir to combine.

Mix in chopped tomatoes, paprika, and black pepper.

Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients, then add bay leaves and salt.

Bring to a simmer, then transfer to a baking dish.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Remove the foil, sprinkle with cheese, and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
