Cabbage rolls with buckwheat

Cabbage rolls are the national food of the Russian people. Stuffed cabbage rolls are stuffed with various minced meat, as well as a vegetable mixture. Alternatively, you can fill them with buckwheat porridge. An unusual culinary recipe, but very tasty. I recommend preparing cabbage rolls with buckwheat porridge for all supporters of proper nutrition, vegetarians, as well as those who observe strict fasting. We sort out the buckwheat, wash and dry it in a saucepan with a thick bottom, stirring constantly. Salt and when the cereal becomes dry and crumbly, pour 1.5 cups of boiling water into it. Cover with a lid and cook, on the smallest fire, without stirring. Remove the upper leaves from the cabbage head, boil them slightly until soft. Finely chop the onions, grate the carrots on a coarse grater and simmer them a little. Then combine the mixture with buckwheat porridge, adding a finely chopped garlic clove. We fill cabbage leaves with prepared minced meat, roll them into rolls and put them in a deep frying pan or saucepan. Fill with water, add tomato puree, herbs, salt and simmer until tender. Cabbage rolls with buckwheat porridge are ready, bon appetit!
