Buckwheat with meat in pots in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. In my opinion, pork goes best with buckwheat. Take pork pulp, preferably with streaks of fat. Of course, chilled meat is best, but if you only have frozen meat, you can use that too. But the main thing is to be able to defrost it correctly: immediately after freezing, transfer the meat to the refrigerator, where the temperature is about 5 degrees. And only after 5-7 hours completely defrost at room temperature.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onion and cut into cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat any vegetable oil in a frying pan: it can be regular sunflower oil or olive oil. To ensure that the oil does not burn in the pan, it must be refined. Fry the onion until golden brown. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the onion is frying, wash the meat well and cut it into small pieces. If necessary, remove films and tendons.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add the meat to the pan with the onions.

6. STEP 6

   

   Fry everything for about 7-10 minutes. Do not add salt, otherwise the meat will be dry.

7. STEP 7

   

   To prepare the dish, we will need a heat-resistant pot or small pots for serving in portions. Place the fried meat and onions at the bottom of the pot.

8. STEP 8

   

   Sort out the buckwheat and rinse well. Pour into the pot.

9. STEP 9

   

   Fill with water so that it is 1 cm above the level of the buckwheat. Season with salt and cover with a lid. It doesn't matter if you have a pot without a lid. You can cover it tightly with foil. Place the pot in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and cook for about 40 minutes. The water should be completely absorbed into the buckwheat.

10. STEP 10

    

    Serve immediately. Although the pots usually keep warm for a long time and the dish can be served even after a few hours. Bon appetit!

Buckwheat in pots turns out delicious even on its own and no meat is needed. See the version of buckwheat with mushrooms.

I haven’t cooked in pots for a long time, but then they caught my eye and I decided to cook buckwheat with meat in pots. My pork has streaks of fat. The meat was fried in a cauldron along with onions and carrots. I really like cooking in pots; there are minimal steps, but the result is very tasty. I added water to the pots as written in the recipe, but during the cooking process I added a little boiling water, because... The buckwheat was not ready yet, but the water had already been absorbed. The result was crumbly buckwheat soaked in meat juice. It's not dry, but there's no gravy either. The meat is soft, juicy, and has a very pleasant consistency. A tasty natural dish without a lot of spices. Thanks for the recipe!

I cooked buckwheat with meat in a pot for dinner. Dishes in pots have a special charm and, in my opinion, seem even tastier than ordinary ones. A side dish of buckwheat and meat in one dish is a great idea for a family lunch or dinner. Everything is very easy to prepare! Thanks for the recipe!
