Tips
- Brown the meat first, as that gives it a richer flavour.
- Cut the potatoes into larger cubes, so they don't fall apart.
- Bake covered, so the meat stays tender, and remove the lid at the end so the top browns.
- Serve with sour cream and dill.
Frequently asked questions
Why a clay pot?
A clay pot holds heat evenly, and the meat softens slowly in its own juice. An ovenproof glass or cast-iron dish also works.
Can it be made with chicken?
Yes, with chicken thigh or breast too, in which case the baking time is shorter, about 50-60 minutes.
