Buckwheat porridge with meat in pots
First we need to prepare all the necessary products. As for meat, it is recommended to use pork or chicken. Buckwheat is taken at the rate of 100 g per clay pot. We will also need the following ingredients: butter, ground pepper (red or black), a small carrot, bay leaves, salt or onions.
We wash the meat with water from the tap, and then cut it into small pieces, after removing all the bones. We take the pan, pour oil into it and put it on the fire. We spread the meat slices and fry until they are covered with a golden brown. After that, boldly add onions, sliced in thin half rings, as well as carrots, grated on a coarse grater. At this stage, you can salt and pepper. All these ingredients should be fried for no more than 5 minutes. As soon as you notice that the vegetables are slightly browned, turn off the heat.
We proceed to the processing of buckwheat: sort it out, clean it of garbage and rinse under warm water. In each of the pots, designed for 0, 5 liters, pour about 100 g of buckwheat. Fill it with 200 ml of water. Salt to taste, pepper. Spread meat slices fried with vegetables on top. To improve the taste in each pot, put one bay leaf. Tightly close the lids and put it all the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. Buckwheat porridge with meat will be completely ready in 40 minutes.
When you remove the pots from the oven, you must open the lids and put in each of them a small piece of butter. It is best if it is of medium fat content. After completing this procedure, put the covers back in place and let stand for another 5 minutes.
