Buckwheat with cabbage stewed in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to stew buckwheat with cabbage in a frying pan? Very simple. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. This buckwheat tastes best with young, juicy cabbage. You can replace tomato paste with ketchup or fresh, finely chopped peeled tomatoes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sort the buckwheat and rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Then drain the cereal in a colander and let the water drain.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the cabbage from the top leaves and chop it. You can cut it very finely or a little larger - as you like.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the carrots and grate on a coarse grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the onion into small cubes. If you or your household do not like onion pieces in the finished dish, you can add a whole onion along with buckwheat (step 9). It will boil down during stewing, give up all its juices, and then you can throw it away.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add carrots to the pan and simmer until soft.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add cabbage, salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cabbage should be almost soft. Depending on the juiciness and freshness of the cabbage, more or less time may be needed for stewing.

9. STEP 9

   

   When the cabbage is almost ready, add the washed buckwheat.

10. STEP 10

    

    Fill everything with water so that the water completely covers the contents of the pan.

11. STEP 11

    

    Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer covered over low heat for 10-12 minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    Add tomato paste. By this time, the buckwheat will swell slightly and absorb some of the moisture, but not all. If there is no liquid left in the pan from the stew, add about 50 ml more water.

13. STEP 13

    

    Mix everything well and simmer the buckwheat and cabbage for another 5-7 minutes or a little longer under the lid until cooked. All excess moisture should completely boil away or be absorbed into vegetables and cereals. Bon appetit!

An interesting idea for cooking buckwheat with cabbage stewed in a frying pan. I tried buckwheat with mushrooms, onions, and carrots. But I decided to cook something new with cabbage. I shredded the cabbage, peeled and grated the carrots, and finely chopped the onion. I fried onions and carrots in a frying pan, added cabbage, stirred and simmered for about 15 minutes. Then added tomato paste, salt, pepper, and buckwheat. I poured water and simmered everything together until the buckwheat was ready. I sprinkled chopped dill on top. Well, I really liked this dish: nourishing, appetizing and very tasty! Thank you Maria for the wonderful recipe and I advise you to try it.

A healthy recipe for those who watch their figure. The combination of cabbage and buckwheat was alarming at first, but after cooking it turned out to be very, very tasty. As recommended by the author of the recipe, I simmered the dish for a long time. First over low heat, and then under a closed lid, covered with a kitchen towel on top. Everything melted in my mouth. I tried this dish with chicken breast. It turned out to be a dietary dish.
