  • How do you make goulash with buckwheat?
    1. Sort and rinse the buckwheat, put it in a saucepan, and set it over the heat for 1–2 minutes to dry-toast it. 2. Add water so it sits about 3/4 inch (1.5 cm) above the grain. 3. Bring to a boil, then add salt. Let it simmer for 3 minutes, turn off the heat, and cover the pan. 4. Wash the carrots and cut them into rounds. Halve the peeled garlic cloves and dice the onion small. 5. Cut both meats into small pieces. 6. Heat a skillet with the oil (olive or any other). 7. Add the garlic and a sprig of thyme to the hot oil. Leave it for a couple of minutes, then remove the garlic. 8. Add the meat, season with salt, and sear for 5 minutes, stirring. 9. Add the carrots, stir, and cook for 2 minutes. 10. Add the onion and cook everything together, stirring, for another 2 minutes. 11. Add the water, the tomatoes in their own juice, and a pinch of sugar. Simmer for 7 minutes. 12. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. 13. Stir the butter into the buckwheat. 14. Spoon the buckwheat onto serving plates, top with the goulash, and garnish with a sprig of thyme. Serve while it's still hot. Enjoy—and share it with your loved ones!

  • Every oil is good only up to a certain temperature—its smoke point—beyond which it starts to burn and forms harmful compounds, including carcinogens. Choose an oil suited to the heat you're cooking at.
  • Note: the wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe, so pick a skillet that suits the dish.
