Step 1:
How to make buckwheat with minced meat in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. First of all, go through the buckwheat groats to get rid of the spoiled grains, then rinse it thoroughly.
Step 2:
Prepare vegetables for buckwheat. Peel the onion and carrot. Cut the onion into small cubes, and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
Step 3:
Fry the prepared vegetables together in a frying pan with the addition of a small amount of vegetable oil. If desired, you can also use olive oil. Fry for a short time, until the moment when the fried onions begin to smell.
Step 4:
As soon as this happens, add minced meat to the vegetables. It is best to use homemade, ground yourself. You can use minced pork, beef, or a mixture of both. Fry the ingredients together until the minced meat loses its pink hue and the meat ceases to be raw.
Step 5:
As soon as this happens, pour buckwheat into the pan and fry it for a couple of minutes. This is done so that in the future buckwheat does not boil, remains elastic and retains its structure. Due to frying buckwheat in a frying pan, it will eventually be crumbly and will have a special flavor.
Step 6:
Next, pour the entire volume of water into the pan. It is better to use filtered water, as it will be absorbed into the buckwheat and become part of the dish. Now cook the buckwheat under a closed lid on low heat for 10 minutes. During this period of time, almost all the water will evaporate.
Step 7:
Open the lid, salt the buckwheat with meat and vegetables, and bring it to readiness on the lowest heat (also under the lid). Stir the contents of the pan periodically. It will take another 10 minutes.
Step 8:
Buckwheat with minced meat is ready.
Step 9:
To make the dish look even more appetizing and colorful, decorate it with green onion rings. Onions can be replaced with other greens by chopping them and also sprinkling them on top of the finished dish.

So that the mucous membrane of the eyes is not irritated when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.

In addition to pork, any other meat can be used in this dish. Keep in mind that the cooking time, as well as the taste and calorie content of the dish will change. For example, beef is cooked longer than pork, and chicken fillet or turkey is less.

How to choose high-quality buckwheat? When buying, pay attention to its appearance. The grains should be of the same shape and size. There should be no debris or crushed grains in the lower part of the package. Brown buckwheat cooks faster, as it is made from factory-baked grains. Green buckwheat takes longer to cook. It is considered more useful, but has a specific taste.
