Simple Lithuanian Stew - #SHORTS #23

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Cut the beef and pork into cubes and season with salt and black pepper.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the meat to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the browned meat and set aside.

In the same pot, add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add diced carrots and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Return the meat to the pot and add diced potatoes, pickled cucumbers, and minced garlic.

Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients and stir in bay leaves and black pepper.

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover.

Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the meat is tender and flavors meld.

Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary to maintain desired consistency.

Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped parsley and dill before serving with a dollop of sour cream.
