Healthy and Delicious Casserole Dish with Clayspire Clay Cooking Pots

Ingredients:

· 500g lean lamb, beef, or chicken (your choice)

· 2 large potatoes, diced

· 2 medium carrots, sliced

· 1 medium onion, chopped

· 2 bell peppers (red and green), chopped

· 2 medium tomatoes, chopped

· 1 zucchini, sliced

· 2 cloves of garlic, minced

· 1 tbsp olive oil

· 1 tsp cumin

· 1 tsp paprika

· 1 tsp dried thyme or oregano

· Salt and pepper to taste

· 1/2 cup of water or vegetable broth

· 1 tbsp tomato paste

· Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the vegetables, chop the meat into bite-sized pieces, and set everything aside.

3. Cook the Meat: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook until browned. Stir in the garlic, cumin, paprika, thyme (or oregano), salt, and pepper. Mix well for a couple of minutes to let the spices release their fragrance.

4. Layer the Vegetables: Transfer the cooked meat into a Clayspire clay pot. Start by layering the potatoes and carrots, then add the onions, bell peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes. This layering helps to cook everything evenly and enhances the flavors.

5. Add the Liquids: Stir in the tomato paste and pour the water or vegetable broth over the vegetables and meat. Make sure everything is slightly covered with the liquid.

6. Cover and Cook: Cover the Clayspire clay pot with its lid and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. The clay pot retains moisture, so the dish remains juicy and flavorful.

7. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or rice.
