Buckwheat pancakes with vegetable ragout are a delicate and nutritious dish of Russian cuisine that combines airy pancakes made from buckwheat flour and aromatic vegetable ragout. Buckwheat, long a symbol of home comfort and Russian tradition, gives the pancakes a rich nutty flavor and softness. The lightness of whipped egg whites makes the batter airy, while the tender ragout of carrots, zucchini, and onions adds pleasant sweetness and freshness to the dish. This meal not only warms the soul but also nourishes the body with beneficial substances, making it perfect for family breakfasts or cozy dinners. It can be served with sour cream or herbs to enhance its rich flavor.
