Buckwheat merchant style with chicken

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make buckwheat merchant-style with chicken? Prepare the products. It is better to take the chicken without bones, thigh fillet or breast, since then they will have to be selected in a ready-made dish during meals. Breast fillet turns out to be dryish. So I decided to cook chicken thigh fillet. We will cook everything at once in a frying pan. Therefore, take a deep and spacious frying pan.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare the vegetables — peel the onions and carrots and rinse in water. Go through the buckwheat, removing garbage and unpeeled grains. Rinse it several times in cold water.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash the chicken meat and dry it well. Cut it into small pieces. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and put the pieces of chopped chicken meat. Fry it on high heat for 7-10 minutes so that it browns a little. During the frying process, juice will be released from the meat, but after a few minutes the juice will evaporate, and the meat will begin to fry. That's what a strong fire is for.

4. Step 4:

   

   While the chicken is being fried, chop the onion and grate the carrots on a coarse grater. If you like carrots to feel, then you can just finely chop them with a knife.

6. Step 5:

   

   Then add the onion and carrot to the pan to the meat. Stir and fry everything together for another 3-4 minutes.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the washed buckwheat in the pan. Boil the water. Stir the tomato paste in hot water and pour it over the buckwheat. Add a little salt and spices to taste. Stir and bring to a boil. Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat for 13-15 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   During stewing, buckwheat will absorb water. Taste the buckwheat. It should be soft. I like this dish to be juicy, so I add a little more hot water and remove it from the heat. Buckwheat already stops cooking, so it will not boil. But there will be a small amount of broth in the dish itself, which will make the dish juicy.

9. Step 8:

   

   Arrange the buckwheat merchant-style on plates and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
