Spring has already started on the calendar. But with its slightly higher temperatures, it still makes us wait. So stews are still very popular.
- Stews are filling and almost cook by themselves after a little preparation.
- This Mexican fire pot takes significantly less time than usual.
- When the crisis is over, it is also great as a party meal.
Hot soups and stews are still on the menu at home right now. Why this warm and rich fire pot from Mexico comes at the right time ...
The record preparation time
Usually stews * always take a little longer to prepare. But this fire pot doesn't - prepare for 15 minutes and cook for an hour . Little other stews can keep up. Sure, as with other dishes of this kind: the longer you simmer, the better it tastes. Because the flavors just have more time to spread. And it goes without saying that such a fire pot can best be prepared the day before . Even the preparation itself does not pose any major difficulties for beginners: Cut everything into small pieces and add them one after the other as described below in the saucepan. Almost as easy as cooking spaghetti according to the package instructions ...

Variable in the use of the ingredients
No, you don't have to strictly follow the ingredient list in the recipe below. If you don't like white beans, only green ones. Or the other way around. If you don't like Cabanossi, grab a chorizo . The same applies to minced meat. This is where mixed minced meat finds its way into the pot - but if you want to avoid pork, you only buy minced beef .
This fire pot can have a kick
As I said, it "may" be, but need not be. Because often children sit at the table or people with a sensitive stomach. Therefore: Before you start cooking - think about who is going to use the pot and then adjust the "sharpness". It works just as well with fresh chillies as with cayenne pepper and / or chilli powder . The sharpness when serving can still be softened a little with a dab of sour cream, but only to a certain extent.

The side dishes for the fire pot
Like many soups and stews, the fire pot is actually a classic one-pot dish. Everything is cooked in a pot. Also, there is usually no need for side dishes , because the three types of beans in combination with corn and meat as well as sausage are already very substantial. Which of course can still be on the table with such a dish, because it goes well with it: freshly baked baguette *.
