Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make buckwheat the merchant way with minced meat? Prepare your food. Minced meat can be made from any meat; it will be tastier when mixed with pork — the dish will be juicier. You can use either ready-made minced meat or one you make yourself at home. Wash and peel the vegetables.

Step 2
Sort the buckwheat, sifting out debris and black grains. Then rinse it well in several waters until transparent.
