Buckwheat is not very popular outside Russia, the former USSR, and some Asian
|
|
countries; but it is a nice grain full of nutrients which can be used to prepare
|
|
delicious and nutritious dishes.
|
|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
The ingredients below are for 2 hearty portions.
|
|
|
|
* 400g pork meat
|
|
* 1/2 metric cup (~125ml) buckwheat
|
|
* 1 1/5 metric cup (~300ml) water
|
|
* 1 medium-sized carrot
|
|
* 1 small onion
|
|
* 6-8 tablespoons tomato paste
|
|
* Wheat flour
|
|
* Curcuma
|
|
* Chili powder (optional)
|
|
* 3-4 garlic cloves
|
|
* Parsley
|
|
* 3-4 bay leaves
|
|
|
|
## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. Chop the onion and cut the pork into small pieces.
|
|
2. Dust the pork with some flour. I sometimes like to do this once I've added
|
|
the pork to the pan, just because I am lazy and I haven't noticed much
|
|
difference between either approach.
|
|
3. Heat the frying pan add a bit of oil, add the pork and onion, and fry for
|
|
about 10-15 minutes over medium-high heat.
|
|
4. While the pork and onion are being fried, cut the carrot into small pieces
|
|
and chop the parsley.
|
|
5. Once the pork and onion are fried, add the water, tomato paste, buckwheat and
|
|
carrots.
|
|
6. Add curcuma, chili powder, salt and black pepper to taste; mix thoroughly.
|
|
7. Add in the garlic cloves, bay leaves and chopped parsley.
|
|
8. Once the water is boiling, close the pan with a lid and stew for about 25
|
|
minutes over low heat.
|
|
9. Serve hot and enjoy!
