+
+Buckwheat is not very popular outside Russia, the former USSR, and some Asian
+countries; but it is a nice grain full of nutrients which can be used to prepare
+delicious and nutritious dishes.
+
+## Ingredients
+
+The ingredients below are for 2 hearty portions.
+
+* 400g pork meat
+* 1/2 metric cup (~125ml) buckwheat
+* 1 1/5 metric cup (~300ml) water
+* 1 medium-sized carrot
+* 1 small onion
+* 6-8 tablespoons tomato paste
+* Wheat flour
+* Curcuma
+* Chili powder (optional)
+* 3-4 garlic cloves
+* Parsley
+* 3-4 bay leaves
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Chop the onion and cut the pork into small pieces.
+2. Dust the pork with some flour. I sometimes like to do this once I've added
+ the pork to the pan, just because I am lazy and I haven't noticed much
+ difference between either approach.
+3. Heat the frying pan add a bit of oil, add the pork and onion, and fry for
+ about 10-15 minutes over medium-high heat.
+4. While the pork and onion are being fried, cut the carrot into small pieces
+ and chop the parsley.
+5. Once the pork and onion are fried, add the water, tomato paste, buckwheat and
+ carrots.
+6. Add curcuma, chili powder, salt and black pepper to taste; mix thoroughly.
+7. Add in the garlic cloves, bay leaves and chopped parsley.
+8. Once the water is boiling, close the pan with a lid and stew for about 25
+ minutes over low heat.
+9. Serve hot and enjoy!
