Are there any buckwheat lovers here? I often use buckwheat flour to make pancakes or waffles, but I forget about groats. Maybe I would use it more if have more ideas and recipes with them. I am a big fan of buckwheat with braised steak. However, I usually need quick recipes. My family liked it, although the children refused to eat pak choi (maybe next time - I do not lose hope). Buckwheat is a very good source of magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese and B vitamins. Additionally, it has a high fiber content, which will surely appeal to our intestinal bacteria. I encourage you to try this super quick recipe, which is also gluten-free and low fodmap.
Ingredients:
- a glass of buckwheat
- 500ml of tomato passata
- 500g of ground beef (5% fat)
- 2 stalks of celery
- 3 carrots
- 2 parsley
- spoon of rapeseed oil
- 2 pak choi
- 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
- cheese (cheddar) 100g
- a bit of spring onion
- salt, pepper, oregano, bay leaf
Method:
Grate the celery, carrots and parsley using cheese grater. Heat the oil in a large pot and fry the vegetables for few minutes. Add the meat and then the tomato passata and mix well. Add spices along with the bay leaf and cook for about 10 minutes. Add add buckwheat and a glass of water. Cook until the buckwheat absorb all the liquids - about 10 minutes.
I other saucepan heat sesame oil and fry pak choi - literally 10 seconds on each side (please do not heat this oil too much - has a very low smoke point)
Put the cabbage, buckwheat in tomato sauce on a plate, sprinkle with cheese and chopped chives. Enjoy!
