Bosanski Lonac - Bosnian Pot - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 kg beef (I used 2 pounds of beef and 1 pound of pork) or 1 kg lamb (I used 2 pounds of beef and 1 pound of pork)
    1 cabbage (cut into bite sized wedges)
    2 -3 carrots (peeled and cut into bite sized pieces)
    3 -4 large tomatoes (cut up in wedges)
    3 -4 large potatoes (peeled and cut up in wedges)
    2 onions (cut up in wedges)
    2 garlic cloves (sliced)
    2 green bell peppers (cut up in wedges)
    1/2 tablespoon cooking oil
    1/2 tablespoon vinegar
    salt and pepper
    water
    white wine
Preparation
    Cut up vegetables in large pieces.
    Cut meat in large, bite sized pieces.
    Layer meat and vegetables in a large soup pot. (one layer of vegetables, one layer of meat, and so on).
    Add 1-2 dl (deciliters) of white wine and water. (I just eyeballed water and wine. Added about 1 to 1 1/2 cups total).
    Cook until meat and vegetables are cooked. (Mine took about 2 1/2 hours on low to medium heat).
    NOTES: I did not stir this stew. I just let the vegetables and meat simmer together and they took care of themselves. I did not have to add water or extra wine and it turned out great. I also added a few \"shakes\" of paprika after everything was finished cooking and served with crusty bread.
