Zivanska

To make Živáňská pečeně, peel and slice potatoes and place them in a layer on the bottom. Season heavily with salt, pepper, paprika, marjoram, and whatever else you like. Then add a layer of meat, cubed. Season heavily again.

Then add cut up onions. Season heavily. Then add more vegetables. We used celery, carrots and green peppers, also season heavily. Add bacon. Season heavily again.

Fold the foil over, and then cover with another layer of foil, which you tuck under. Bake for a while, at least an hour. It’s best to avoid checking on the dish too often, so the juices don’t leak out. You may need to season the dish more when ready – despite all this heavy seasoning, it may need more.
