The type of potato you use for the dish is not important. The main thing is that the tubers are healthy and without a green tint. If your potatoes have turned green, it is better not to eat such a vegetable. We clean the tubers, wash them and cut them directly into the saucepan or frying pan in which you are going to stew.
Next, we do the same with the carrots: peel, wash and cut into thin slices.
If your carrot is small in diameter, then you don’t even need to cut it in half. Well, in a “thick” root vegetable it is better to make a longitudinal cut. Next, peel the garlic cloves and thinly slice them for the potatoes and carrots.
Without defrosting, add green beans to the pan.
By the way, it can be replaced with frozen green peas, frozen corn, and any other vegetable. Salt, add 2-3 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix gently.
Now pour some water into the pan. You need so much of it that 1/3 of the vegetables are immersed in it. Cover with a lid and place on the stove over medium heat. This is important because the vegetables should begin to simmer slowly and gradually absorb each other’s flavors. After boiling, reduce the heat to minimum and simmer the potatoes and vegetables for 20-25 minutes. You can serve kefir with the finished dish, or you can serve meat or fish. It depends on your taste preferences and family gastronomic traditions. Bon appetit!
