Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make buckwheat the merchant way in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. I used pork butt, but you can make it with any meat, including chicken or turkey. The set of vegetables can also be changed if desired.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the pre-peeled carrots into small cubes. Choose the form of cutting vegetables as desired. But to make the dish look good, it is better to cut it in the same shape and not very finely.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel and wash the onions. Cut the onion into medium cubes.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds and stems. Cut the pepper into medium cubes as well.

Step 5

Step 5
Wash the tomato and cut it into cubes in the same way.

Step 6

Step 6
Rinse buckwheat under cold water.

Step 7

Step 7
Wash the meat and dry it well. Cut the meat into desired size pieces.

Step 8

Step 8
In a frying pan with vegetable oil, fry the onions and carrots over moderate heat until half cooked, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Step 9
Place chopped bell peppers in the pan. Continue to fry the vegetables for another 1-2 minutes, stirring.

Step 10

Step 10
Add tomato to the pan and stir. Simmer the vegetables for 1 minute and transfer to a plate. There is no need to bring the vegetables to full readiness so that they do not overcook during further cooking in the oven.

Step 11

Step 11
Add vegetable oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat. Place pieces of meat in a frying pan and fry on one side until lightly browned.

Step 12

Step 12
Turn the pieces of meat over to the other side and fry as well. The meat will be covered with a light crust, which will retain its juiciness.

Step 13

Step 13
In a suitable sized container, combine the fried vegetables, meat and buckwheat. Salt everything, add seasonings and spices, mix.

Step 14

Step 14
I used a ceramic mold for cooking; a heat-resistant glass one would also work. You can make a dish in pots. Place the cereal with vegetables and meat in a mold, pour in warm water so that it completely covers the ingredients.

Step 15

Step 15
Cover the pan with foil. This will save precious steam, under which the buckwheat will cook. And spices and seasonings will reveal their taste and aroma to the maximum.

Step 16

Step 16
Place the pan in an oven preheated to 180 C for 30-35 minutes. Towards the end of cooking, carefully open the foil. If the water is not completely absorbed into the cereal, continue cooking the dish until the moisture has completely evaporated. Leave the finished buckwheat to simmer in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Cooking times may vary, please take into account the operating characteristics of your oven.

Step 17

Step 17
Place the buckwheat merchant-style into plates and serve. Bon appetit!
