Merchant-Style Buckwheat with Pork (Slow Cooker)

A hearty, flavorful, filling dish — put a satisfying dinner on the table for the whole family! It's as easy to make as it is delicious, and everyone from the grown-ups to the little ones loves it. It's wholesome, too, and cooked in a slow cooker it comes out much like it would slow-braised in an old-fashioned oven. It's wonderfully fragrant with spices, but the plain, spice-free version (great when kids are eating) is every bit as tasty.

    1. Cut the pork into medium pieces. 2. Pour the vegetable oil into the slow cooker insert and add the meat. Season with salt and set it to the Stew (braise) setting. 3. Meanwhile, prep the vegetables: wash and peel the carrot and cut it into sticks or cubes; peel the onion and chop it finely; mince or press the garlic. 4. Once the pork has cooked for 20 minutes, add the onion, garlic, and carrot to the insert and stir. Cook everything together for 5 minutes. 5. Rinse the buckwheat groats and add them to the slow cooker. 6. Pour the water over everything. 7. Season to taste (I usually use curry, a mix of ground peppers, a pinch of nutmeg, and dried herbs — but when little ones are eating I leave the spices out entirely, and it's just as good). Add a little more salt. 8. Stir well, cover, and cook on the Stew setting for another 15 minutes. Serve the merchant-style buckwheat hot. Enjoy!
