Prepare the main ingredient by cleaning and cutting it into desired portions.
Heat oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add the main ingredient and brown lightly on all sides.
Pour in the broth or stock and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add vegetables, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook until the main ingredient and vegetables are tender (about 30–45 minutes depending on the ingredients).
