Rinse the buckwheat.
Transfer the buckwheat to the minced meat.
Pour boiling water and place the dishes on the stove. When the water boils, taste for salt and add salt if necessary.
Close the lid and simmer over low heat until all the water has disappeared and the buckwheat is ready. Add a piece of butter to the prepared buckwheat and stir.

Buckwheat with minced meat in a frying pan is a favorite dish of bachelors and working housewives - it is so easy to prepare. The beauty of the dish is that all the ingredients are accessible and always in stock. The main condition is the availability of fresh homemade minced meat, preferably from several types of meat. Pork and chicken, beef or pork, chicken and turkey are suitable: choose for yourself.

Buckwheat in a merchant's style is an old recipe of Russian cuisine, and it received such an unusual name because, in addition to cereals and vegetables, it contains meat. Previously, meat products were available only to the wealthy class: merchants, landowners, shopkeepers, and poor peasant families prepared meat only on major holidays. Nowadays it is more of an economical dish than a festive one: at a relatively low cost you get an impressive amount of delicious food that can feed a large family. Merchant-style buckwheat with minced meat will cost even less, and will help out when there is very little meat, but you need to prepare a hearty dinner or a main course for lunch.
You can cook buckwheat with minced meat in a frying pan on the stove or in a cauldron in the oven.

- tomato sauce – 3 tbsp. l;
- salt - to taste;
- vegetable oil – 4 tbsp. l;
- black pepper – 2 pinches (optional);
- water (boiling water) – 2 glasses.
Recipe with photos step by step:
Cut a large onion into cubes or chop into thin quarter rings. Heat refined vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or cauldron and add onion.
We make the heat not very strong, a little stronger than medium, and fry the onion until a beautiful golden hue appears. While the onion is frying, cut the carrots into strips. Add to the onion, stir, fry for about another five minutes, soaking the vegetables in oil.
If you don’t have ready-made minced meat, before frying the vegetables, grind the lean meat through a meat grinder. We move the vegetables to the side and place the minced meat in the frying pan. We increase the fire to almost maximum.
Mix the minced meat quickly, breaking up any lumps with a fork or spatula. Then lightly fry and mix with carrots and onions.
Season with salt and ground pepper. For taste, add tomato sauce (optional, this is an optional ingredient). Fry the tomato for several minutes, reduce the heat to low.
We wash the buckwheat, changing the water several times. We choose specks and nigella. Pour buckwheat into vegetables with minced meat. You can first fry the cereal in another frying pan without adding oil, then mix with vegetables and minced meat.
Pour in two glasses of water. Add salt to taste immediately before the cereal has absorbed all the water. Cover tightly and cook for 30-35 minutes without opening the lid.
Buckwheat should absorb all the water and steam well. After turning off, leave the buckwheat to brew under the lid, and stir gently before serving. There is no need to stir the buckwheat during cooking; it will not turn out crumbly.
We cut the green onions into rings, take out pickled or pickled tomatoes and cucumbers. Place on plates, sprinkle buckwheat with minced meat with green onions and serve. Bon appetit!
