Buckwheat with meatballs in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make buckwheat with meatballs in the oven? Prepare all the products according to the list. Which minced meat is better to use? Absolutely any minced meat is suitable, whether it is chicken, pork, beef or mixed from several types of meat. In the recipe, I used ready-made minced pork.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onion and garlic from the husk, rinse and dry. I had small bulbs available, so I increased their number to three.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the onion into small cubes. Send half of the chopped onion to the minced meat, and put the second part aside for now. Grate the garlic on a fine grater or pass it through a garlic press, send it to the meat. Mix everything well.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add salt to taste and ground black pepper to the minced meat. At this stage, you can also use your favorite spices and seasonings (for example, ground paprika, smoked ground pepper, Italian herbs, dried basil or oregano, and so on). Again, knead everything thoroughly and leave to infuse for 5-10 minutes.

5. Step 5:

   

   At this time, do buckwheat. Wash the grits several times in clean water and put them in a colander. Send the buckwheat to the baking dish. Add the remaining chopped onion and vegetable oil to the same place. Add salt to taste.

7. Step 6:

   

   Mix everything.

8. Step 7:

   

   Form meatballs of the same size from the minced meat.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the meatballs on top of the buckwheat. Pour in the water. How to determine the exact amount of water needed for baking? For 1 serving of buckwheat, you need to take 2 servings of water. For example, for one glass of buckwheat, you will need 2 glasses of water. Water can reach almost to the edges of the mold. Do not worry, during the cooking process, the cereal will gradually absorb water. Cover the mold with foil.

10. Step 9:

    

    Send buckwheat with meatballs to a preheated 200 degree oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes. Next, remove the foil and leave the baking dish until all the components are ready (from 10 to 20 minutes). Attention! The cooking time and temperature may differ from those indicated in the recipe, depending on the capabilities of your oven! Remove the finished dish from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
