Buckwheat and Pork (one-pot meal)

Langkah-langkah

1. Heat a dutch oven (or heavy-bottomed pot) over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add well drained buckwheat and saute, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes. Remove buckwheat from the pot and set aside.
2. In the same pot add 2 Tbsp more olive oil. Add diced onion and grated carrot and saute for 4-5 minutes or until softened. Add ground meat and continue to saute until lightly browned and cooked through. Add 2 Tbsp of ketchup, 2 minced cloves of garlic and combine well.
3. Spread toasted buckwheat evenly over the top of the mixture and cover it with 1 1/2 cups boiling water. Sprinkle the top with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp of black pepper and 2 bay leaves.
4. Close the pot with a tight fitting lid. Simmer for 15 min or until kernels are soft and fluffy. Remove from heat and let it stand covered for an additional 10 min without mixing, then stir and serve.
