Merchant's buckwheat
4 servings
40 minutes
Buckwheat is our constant companion in times of global cataclysms. The most popular folk diet is called: "Sit on buckwheat". Another thing is that sooner or later everything gets boring, all the truffles in the world, and buckwheat even more so. To avoid monotony, you can cook buckwheat merchant's style - with juicy ruddy pork, fried vegetables and greens. If you have a heavy thick-walled saucepan at hand, in which buckwheat groats soften, but do not burn, it will be absolutely wonderful.
