Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make buckwheat with stew in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take any stew you like — beef or pork. The main thing is that it is of the highest quality, with the least amount of fat and the most meat. I have beef.

Step 2

Step 2
Sort the buckwheat, rinse thoroughly until the water is clear and dry.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut the carrots into small pieces — strips, cubes or quarters, like mine, or grate them on a coarse grater. Keep in mind that the final result in this dish depends on how you chop the carrots: grated carrots during heat treatment will turn into pulp and mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients; cut into strips or cubes will retain their shape.

Step 4

Step 4
Peel the onion. If you want to stew the onion along with the carrots, cut it into small cubes. I cut the onion in half so that it was boiled, released all the juices, and then took it out of the finished buckwheat.

Step 5

Step 5
Melt vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. If you wish, you can partially or completely replace the oil with fat from a can of stew. Add carrots and fry, stirring, until soft. If you want to add finely chopped onion, then you need to add it at this stage and simmer along with the carrots.

Step 6

Step 6
Add the stew to the carrots in the pan.

Step 7

Step 7
Mix everything and simmer over low heat for another 5 minutes.

Step 8

Step 8
Add washed buckwheat, onion, bay leaves, salt and pepper to the stew. Add a little salt, as the stew is already salty. It’s better to add more salt to the porridge before serving than to over-salt it right away. Mix everything.

Step 9

Step 9
Pour in warm clean water and stir.

Step 10

Step 10
Simmer everything under the lid over low heat for about 25 minutes, until some of the water is absorbed into the buckwheat and some evaporates. Do not stir the buckwheat while stewing.

Step 11

Step 11
Remove the finished buckwheat from the heat, remove the onion halves, add pieces of butter and stir. Let the dish sit for 10-15 minutes under the lid and serve, sprinkled with chopped herbs. Bon appetit!
