Buckwheat with liver

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook buckwheat with liver? Prepare the products according to the list. Wash and peel the onions and carrots. If necessary, defrost the beef liver by moving it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator in advance. Then rinse it. Pour some sweetened water into a bowl and leave to soak for about 1 hour or more. During this time, it will become softer, more tender, more juicy, and the bitterness and unpleasant odor will go away. After 1 hour, drain the water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate the peeled carrots on a coarse grater. Cut the onion into small cubes. To prevent onion juice from irritating your eyes so much, rinse the onion and knife with cold water before slicing.

3. STEP 3

   

   This dish is best prepared in a cauldron or duck pot. Pour refined vegetable oil into the duck pot and add onions and carrots. Stir and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Transfer the soaked liver from the bowl to a cutting board. Remove bile ducts and films.

5. STEP 5

10. STEP 10

11. STEP 11

    

    Smooth the surface of the buckwheat and fill it with hot water. Add 4 cups of water to two cups of buckwheat. Take filtered or bottled water with a neutral taste, as if you use tap water, it can give the dish an unpleasant odor.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cover the duck pot tightly with a lid and cook the buckwheat with liver over low heat for 30 minutes.

13. STEP 13

    

    The dish is ready when the water has completely evaporated. Do not lift the lid during simmering. Stir the finished dish before serving.

I made a second dish for dinner using this recipe. Buckwheat with liver is the perfect combination. The preparation is simple. I chose pork liver and soaked it in milk for 2 hours. Fried onions and carrots. Added chopped liver and fried as described in the recipe. For spices I added ground paprika, salt, ground nutmeg and ground pepper. Added buckwheat and water and simmered for about half an hour. The aroma is excellent. The dish is inexpensive and delicious. Everyone liked the buckwheat with liver. I complemented the excellent dinner with pickled cabbage. Very aromatic, filling and tasty. Good recipe! Many thanks to the author!
