Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make buckwheat with chicken liver? Pour the buckwheat into a deep bowl, pour running water and wash off any debris that floats to the surface. Rinse in the same way several times and drain the water. If you come across small, black, hard specks, remove them too. Buckwheat should be of good quality, and it should not be buckwheat.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the onion and chop finely. Peel the carrots and cut them into large pieces — you can simply grate them on a coarse grater, but in large form they will look better in the final dish.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut the liver into medium-sized pieces: about 4 pieces each. You also need to trim off excess veins and remove remnants of the gallbladder, if any.

Step 4

Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, add the liver and fry over high heat on one side for 5 minutes and turn over.

Step 5

Step 5
Add the onions and carrots to the liver and fry everything together for another 5 minutes, also over high heat.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour buckwheat into the pan, add salt and mix everything well.

Step 7

Step 7
Pour in hot water, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the dish over moderate heat for 20 minutes until the buckwheat is completely swollen and cooked.

Step 8

Step 8
After the allotted time, turn off the heat, add butter and stir the buckwheat well so that the butter melts — with butter it will be juicy and more tasty. After this, let the dish sit for a few minutes with the lid closed. The dish is ready — when serving, you can sprinkle it with chopped green onions or other herbs at your discretion.
