Buckwheat with stew in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make buckwheat with stew in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take any stew to taste - from beef or pork. The main thing is that it should be of the highest grade, with the least amount of fat and the most meat. I have beef.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sort the buckwheat, rinse thoroughly until clear water and dry.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the carrots into small pieces - straws, cubes or quarters, like mine, or grate on a coarse grater. Keep in mind that the final result in this dish also depends on how you chop the carrots: grated carrots will turn into mush during heat treatment and mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cut into strips or cubes will retain their shape.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the onion. If you want to put out the onion along with the carrots, cut it into small cubes. I cut the onion in half so that it boiled, gave all the juices, and then took it out of the finished buckwheat.

5. Step 5:

   

   Melt vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. If desired, you can partially or completely replace the oil with fat from a can of stew. Lay out the carrots and fry, stirring, until soft. If you want to add finely chopped onion, then you need to add it at this stage and put it out together with carrots.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add stewed meat to the carrot pan.

8. Step 7:

   

   Mix everything and simmer for another 5 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add washed buckwheat, onion, bay leaves, salt and pepper to the stew. Add a little salt, as the stew is already salty. It is better to add salt to the porridge before serving, than to over-salt it immediately. Mix everything together.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour in warm clean water and mix.

11. Step 10:

    

    Simmer everything under the lid on low heat for about 25 minutes, until some of the water is absorbed into the buckwheat, and some evaporates. Do not stir the buckwheat while stewing.

12. Step 11:

    

    Remove the finished buckwheat from the heat, remove the halves of the bulbs, add the pieces of butter and mix. Let the dish stand for 10-15 minutes under the lid and serve to the table, sprinkled with chopped herbs. Bon appetit!
