Bosnian Pot Stew Bosanski Lonac Recipes

BOSANSKI LONAC - BOSNIAN POT

Steps:

• Cut up vegetables in large pieces.
• Cut meat in large, bite sized pieces.
• Layer meat and vegetables in a large soup pot. (one layer of vegetables, one layer of meat, and so on).
• Add 1-2 dl (deciliters) of white wine and water. (I just eyeballed water and wine. Added about 1 to 1 1/2 cups total).
• Cook until meat and vegetables are cooked. (Mine took about 2 1/2 hours on low to medium heat).
• NOTES: I did not stir this stew. I just let the vegetables and meat simmer together and they took care of themselves. I did not have to add water or extra wine and it turned out great. I also added a few "shakes" of paprika after everything was finished cooking and served with crusty bread.

BOSNIAN POT STEW (BOSANSKI LONAC) RECIPE

Steps:

• Put the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the onion, garlic, and beef stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes. You can add a little water here and there to keep it simmering.
• Lower the temperature to medium, add carrots and continue simmering. Every few minutes add another ingredient: green beans, then potatoes, then tomatoes and sugar, all while adding a little bit of water in between.
• By this time the meat has been simmering for about 30 minutes, and vegetables a little less. Add 3-4 cups of water (so it covers the ingredients, plus a little more). Add salt and pepper. Mix. Cover with lid, leaving a little bit uncovered. Lower the temperature to low, and leave to cook for 90 minutes.
