You will need:
For about 3 servings
- 1 pack of buckwheat (125 g. uncooked)
- 3 medium sized carrots (approx. 175 g. peeled)
- 1 onion
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- A few tablespoons of chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil (60 g.)
- 1 teaspoon of the spice mix of your choice (poultry spice mix is used in the recipe)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- optional: fresh herbs such as parsley for decoration
Preparation
- Cook the buckwheat according to the instructions on the packaging.
2.Peel the onion and garlic and chop.
3.Peel and grate the carrots. I use the beetroot grated (the one with the bigger holes).
4.Heat the oil in a frying pan. I also added the leftover oil from the sun-dried tomatoes that was left in a bowl.
5.Fry the onion and garlic in the oil until soft and lightly golden.
6.Add the carrots and chopped sundried tomatoes to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes or until the carrots are almost tender.
7.Add the cooked buckwheat and spices and fry for a further 3-5 minutes to warm the buckwheat.
8.Tofu ('marinated' or 'smoked' type) is also very suitable. I cook cubes of tofu in oil separately with some spices - this makes it crispier - and put it on top of buckwheat. - Serve with some fresh herbs or additional seeds on top!
