Grechaniki - recipe for cutlets with buckwheat and minced meat in tomato sauce in a frying pan
This dish is needed in Ukrainian and Polish cuisine. The main ingredient is buckwheat. To make the cutlets juicy and keep their shape, minced meat and fried vegetables are added to them. You can cook it either in a frying pan or bake it in the oven. It turns out very tasty if you pour tomato sauce over the cutlets.
It is better to use a combination of minced meat for cutlets: chicken with turkey, pork with beef. You can also add a small amount of twisted fresh lard. When using 1 type of meat, buckwheat can turn out dry. Be sure to boil the cereal in salted water until tender and it is better to give preference to the core.
It is very important to knead the minced meat well. Otherwise, the cutlets may not stick well, may not hold their shape, or may fall apart when turned over. Since it is customary to add fried onions to buckwheat, it is worth paying attention to the purple variety. It has no pronounced bitterness. As for spices, it is better to stick to salt and pepper.

Buckwheat with minced meat in tomato sauce in a frying pan
I propose to prepare a common dish of Belarusian and Ukrainian cuisine - grechaniky. They are cutlets made from minced meat with the addition of boiled buckwheat. Buckwheat pancakes become especially tender after simmering in tomato sauce in a frying pan. Prepare delicious, juicy cutlets using this recipe and enjoy their delicious taste!
Ingredients
Manufacturing process
Thoroughly wash and sort the buckwheat. Then put a pan of water on the fire (there should be twice as much water as buckwheat). When the water boils, add salt to taste and add the cereal. Bring the water to a boil again, then reduce the heat and cook the buckwheat until cooked and the water has completely evaporated (20 minutes). Allow the finished buckwheat to cool completely.
Next you need to do the minced meat. You can take purchased minced meat and add to it a peeled onion, chopped, for example, in a blender. You can also prepare minced meat at home by passing pieces of meat together with a clean onion through a meat grinder.
Next, add eggs, ground black pepper and salt to the minced meat with onions, after which the minced meat needs to be kneaded well.
Then you need to add cooled buckwheat to the minced meat and carefully mix the ingredients again.
From the resulting minced meat, you need to form cutlets (buckwheat), roll them in flour on all sides. Then you need to heat the frying pan, add oil to it and fry the cutlets until golden brown on medium heat on both sides. Transfer the fried buckwheat from the frying pan to a plate.
Now let’s prepare the tomato sauce; for this you need to finely chop a whole (you can take half) peeled onion.
Peel and grate the carrots on a large grater (you can not grate the carrots, but cut them into thin cubes).
After the vegetables are prepared, you need to heat the frying pan, add a little vegetable oil, add the onion and fry it for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, stirring. Then add carrots. Fry the vegetables, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes (the carrots and onions should become quite soft).
In a separate container, combine tomato paste, salt, spices, pour in water, and thoroughly mix the resulting sauce. When the carrots and vegetables become quite soft, pour the sauce into the pan and bring to a boil.
After the tomato sauce boils, put the fried buckwheat into it, cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes (depending on the size of the cutlets and the composition of the minced meat).
After time, the buckwheat cakes will be ready; before serving, you can sprinkle them with herbs.
Place very tasty, tender buckwheat noodles from the frying pan onto plates, pour over tomato sauce and serve with a side dish (for example, boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes) or vegetable salad. This is how easy it is to make amazing cutlets from minced meat and buckwheat that the whole family will love!
