In fact, pilaf can be made not only from rice. If you have imagination, even buckwheat and pearl barley will do, but with buckwheat everyone will definitely like it.
Here is the most suitable recipe that will come in handy for all occasions.
To prepare you will need:
- 1.5 cups of buckwheat;
- 500 g beef;
- 1 carrot;
- 1 onion;
- 3 cloves of garlic;
- salt, pepper, spices - to taste;
- vegetable oil, water.
How to cook
Let's start with preparing the vegetables. Peel, wash, cut and grate the onion (into cubes) and carrots (into strips). Cut the meat into small pieces (you can use mushrooms instead of meat).
Fry the onion in a frying pan, and when it turns golden, add meat (mushrooms), salt, pepper and spices.
Next we add carrots and garlic. The garlic needs to be chopped with a knife.
Simmer the ingredients for 5 minutes, then add 2.5 cups of water, cover with a lid and cook for 40 minutes on low heat.
At this time, roast the buckwheat in a dry frying pan, pour it into the frying pan with meat and vegetables, add another 2.5 cups of water and simmer for 20 minutes.
When ready, leave it under the lid for 10-15 minutes, and then serve.
Bon appetit!
