2 long green peppers/ or yellow, cut into pieces
2 long red peppers/ cut into pieces
5 medium potatoes/ diced

Olive oli EVO to taste

1 Tbsp + 1 tsp red ground pepper - allspice for ribs- divided
2 Tbsp tomato paste/ or paprika paste +100 ml
1 tsp oregano or to taste
100 ml water/ or as needed
baking dish 24 x 40 cm or deep terracotta dish

For Couscous as you like:

1 cup Couscous/ 240 ml
salt to taste
1 tsp dry spice Vegeta
1 cup of hot boiling water/ 240 ml

Preparations:

Preparation meat and Vegeteables:

Wash and clean all vegetables well, then cut them as described in the recipe. If using small carrots, leave them in pieces.
Wash larger mushrooms with stems and cut in half.
Place the vegetables and mushrooms in a deep and greased baking dishes.
Now add all the spices: salt, pepper, Vegeta dry seasoning, red ground paprika, oregano, and paprika paste (or tomato paste mixed with 100 ml water), pour olive oil to taste over - mix with the ingredients well from all sides.
Cut the meat into thicker steaks about 7 mm. Season on all sides to taste (salt, black, pepper, and dry spice Vegeta).
If you chose ribs in the whole piece, like I did, then first oil them, season with salt, black pepper, add Vegeta dry seasoning and red ground pepper - spread over the entire surface as well as on the other side. Place over the vegetables.
If you are placing steaks, then arrange one row of vegetables, then another row of two- three steaks, and repeat until you have used up all the material.
I used a transparent baking dish 24 x 40 cm, you can use a deep terracotta pan if you have, it's important that it's deeper and slightly wider.
Cover the dish with lid or with aluminum foil, bake in a preheated oven at 180°C, about 120- 125 minute's.
NOTE: After 60 minutes of baking, remove the aluminum foil - stir the vegetables, return and bake for about 20 minutes. If it is necessary to add a little water, the vegetables will certainly release their juices during roasting.
During roasting, turn the meat and stir the vegetables every 20-25 minutes three times, until the vegetables and meat are tender and browned.

Preparation of Couscous:

Prepare the couscous, 15 minutes before the end of baking.
Pour one cup of couscous into a saucepan, add salt and dried herbs, stir, then pour boiling water over, and let stand for 5-7 minutes, covered.
Serve roasted vegetables and meat with a side of couscous.

Buon appetito!
