Buckwheat merchants in a slow cooker - the basic principles of cooking
Buckwheat merchants in a slow cooker cooked with pork, beef, chicken and even minced meat. For this dish I take a tenderloin, wash it and clean it from films and veins. Then the meat is cut into small pieces as a goulash and fried until light brown.
While the meat is being prepared, vegetables are peeled, washed and chopped. The main vegetables for this dish are onions and carrots, but you can add other vegetables or mushrooms.
Shredded vegetables are added to the meat and continue to fry until soft.
Buckwheat is sorted, washed under a tap and added to meat with vegetables. Mix and cook for about an hour. As a rule, they use the “rice” or “stewing” modes for this. It is advisable to leave the finished dish for some time on heating.
