Buckwheat merchant style with minced meat

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make buckwheat the merchant way with minced meat? Prepare your food. Minced meat can be made from any meat; it will be tastier when mixed with pork - the dish will be juicier. You can use either ready-made minced meat or one you make yourself at home. Wash and peel the vegetables.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sort the buckwheat, sifting out debris and black grains. Then rinse it well in several waters until transparent.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the cereal in a dry frying pan and dry it, stirring, over low heat. Buckwheat prepared in this way is more aromatic and tasty.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the buckwheat is drying, prepare the vegetables. Finely dice the onion and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take a saucepan, frying pan or saucepan with a thick bottom in which you plan to cook buckwheat. Heat it over low heat, add vegetable oil for frying. Add the onion and fry it in vegetable oil for 2-3 minutes until transparent.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add carrots to the onions and fry them together for another 3-4 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Next add the minced meat, mix it well, breaking up any lumps and fry everything together for another 5-7 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add tomato paste, stir and fry the minced meat for another 2-3 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the buckwheat into the saucepan, but do not mix it with the minced meat.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour in water (the water rate is slightly less than usual 1:1.5), salt and pepper. Cook the buckwheat over low heat for about 20 minutes until the water evaporates.

11. STEP 11

    

    After 20 minutes, add finely chopped garlic, stir and leave the dish on the fire for another 2-3 minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    Chop the greens. I used parsley and dill, but you can use any you like.

13. STEP 13

    

    Add chopped herbs, stir - the dish is ready.

14. STEP 14

    

    Divide the buckwheat into plates and serve. Bon appetit!

A good option for cooking buckwheat with minced meat. But it will also be incredibly tasty with stew.

For dinner I cooked merchant-style buckwheat with minced meat and realized that now this dish will be a frequent guest on our table. But the whole point is that my children do not like chunky meat; they eat minced meat in any form). I increased the quantity of products based on 2 cups of buckwheat. I twisted the minced beef and twisted the garlic too. I fried onions and carrots in a cauldron, then added minced meat. Since the mince is beef, I stewed it together with tomato paste for about 40 minutes. The proportions of water and cereal are ideal for me. The liquid was absorbed and the buckwheat turned out crumbly. At the same time, this second dish remained juicy and rich! Very tasty and aromatic! And most importantly, you don’t need to chew pieces of meat; my daughter asks me to cook more!

Thanks for the good recipe. It turned out very tasty, despite the simplicity of the ingredients. Additional spices: bay leaf, allspice, thyme, basil, nutmeg, turmeric, smoked paprika, Cajun blend. Plus a little granulated sugar (instead of carrots :) and sesame oil. And a lot of pureed tomatoes!
