Cooking

Wash, peel, and slice vegetable marrows. Preheat vegetable oil and fry them slightly. Set aside vegetable marrows for a while.

Rinse, peel, and slice carrots. Peel and chop a bulb onion finely. Combine the carrot with onion and fry the ingredients until soft.

Peel and wash potatoes. Cut them into medium pieces. Add the potato and green peas to the vegetables. Adjust red ground pepper and salt to your taste. Then add chopped parsley and basil leaves. Cook until the potato becomes soft. Transfer the ingredients to the pan and pour 1 cup of water above. Stir to combine, cover the pan with a lid, and stew everything for 15-20 minutes.
