Merchant-Style Buckwheat with Chicken, Carrots, and Onion
A tasty dish of buckwheat simmered in tomato with fried chicken. The tomato and browned chicken give the buckwheat a bold, savory flavor. It's easy to make and very filling. Merchant-style buckwheat with chicken is a great alternative to pilaf.
Buckwheat turns out especially delicious when cooked with fried meat and a little tomato. With chicken fillet, the dish comes together even faster. Start by prepping the meat and vegetables: rinse the chicken fillet, and peel and wash the onion, carrot, and garlic. Cut the chicken into large cubes, slice the onion into quarter-rings, grate the carrot on a coarse grater, stir the tomato paste into the water, and pick over and rinse the buckwheat. Begin frying the chicken in heated vegetable oil in a deep-sided skillet. After 2–3 minutes, add the onion. Keep frying over high heat for another couple of minutes. Next, add the carrot, salt, and spices, stir, and fry for about 2 more minutes. Then add the buckwheat, stir everything together, and lower the heat. Pour in the tomato-water mixture, stir again, and cover the skillet. Cook the merchant-style buckwheat with chicken over low heat, covered, for 25 minutes. As it cooks, the buckwheat should absorb all the liquid and turn fluffy. Just before turning off the heat, press in the garlic and stir it into the finished dish. Let it rest, covered, for another minute, then spoon onto plates and serve as a main course.
