Food with Olives and Meat

To prepare a delicious meat dish, we will start by frying the meat in a well-heated pan with oil. We add salt and pepper to taste, making sure to brown it evenly on all sides to give it a rich flavor and a crispy texture. This process takes about 30 minutes, during which the meat will absorb the flavors from the spices and oil. As the meat fries, we add a little water to facilitate cooking. The water will help tenderize the meat and create a delicious sauce base.

Once the meat is perfectly browned and cooked, we remove it to a plate, and in the pan where we fried the meat, we add finely chopped onion and grated carrot. These vegetables will add sweetness and a deep flavor to the dish. We fry the onion and carrot for about 2 minutes, then cover with water and let it boil so that the flavors blend harmoniously.

After we have obtained a nice sauce, we add the meat back into the pot along with olives and bay leaves. This mixture will give the dish a Mediterranean flavor. It is important to add more water so that everything is covered by a few fingers. We let it boil for about 10 minutes, so all the ingredients blend well and the flavors develop.

To prepare the sauce, we add 2 tablespoons of broth, which will enhance the taste and provide a more vibrant color. In a small cup, we put a teaspoon of flour and mix it with warm water to avoid lumps. We will strain this mixture over the food, ensuring that the sauce will be smooth and creamy.

When the dish is nearly ready, we add the slices of lemon, which will bring a touch of freshness and acidity, balancing the flavors. We let it boil for another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Finally, we can add fresh herbs like parsley or dill to give a note of freshness.

To complete the meal, we can serve the dish alongside a salad of tomatoes and cucumbers, to which we can add pieces of cheese, olives, and a drizzle of olive oil. We sprinkle freshly ground coriander and a pinch of salt for an extra flavor boost. This dish will bring joy to the table and will be appreciated by all loved ones. Enjoy your meal!
