The advantage of one-pot meals is that there is no need to cook a side dish separately . At most, we can offer this type of food a piece of bread – bread or a crispy bun.

What we cook in one pot

One-pot meals include hearty meat-based soups , stewed mixtures of meat, vegetables and potatoes, mixtures of legumes, potatoes and vegetables with the addition of meat or sausage, sausage mixtures with potatoes and vegetables, including mushrooms.

These dishes cannot always be considered dietary, but if we pay attention to the types of ingredients used and increase the proportion of vegetables, they can also meet these requirements.

We usually do not thicken the dishes, they should be thick from the mixture of ingredients.
