  • Difficulty: Medium

  • Contains: dairy, gluten, pork

Ingredients

  • 150 g Pork loin, raw
  • 1 g Salt
  • 0.2 g Black pepper
  • 50 g Onions, raw
  • 100 g Mushrooms, white, raw
  • 12 g Sunflower oil
  • 6 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 40 g Sour cream
  • 260 g Water
  • 60 g Buckwheat groats
  • 5 g Butter, unsalted
  • 2 g Dill, fresh

Method

  1. Cut the pork into slices about 1 cm thick, cover them with cling film and beat them out to 5 mm; season with a little of the salt and the pepper.
  2. Chop the onion and mushrooms and fry them in half the oil for 10 minutes, until their liquid has gone and they are golden; set a third of them aside for the sauce.
  3. Spread the rest of the mushrooms over the pork slices, roll each one up tightly and tie it with string or pin it with a cocktail stick.
  4. Roll the kruchenyky in the flour and brown them in the remaining oil over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes, turning, until golden all over.
  5. Put them in a small pan with the mushrooms you kept, stir the sour cream into about 100 ml of the water with a pinch of the salt and pour it over; cover and simmer gently, or bake at 180°C, for 40 minutes until the meat is tender and the sauce thick.
  6. Meanwhile, rinse the buckwheat and put it in a pan with the rest of the water and salt; bring to the boil, cover and cook on low heat for 15-18 minutes, until the water is absorbed, then stir in the butter.
  7. Take off the string, lay the kruchenyky on the buckwheat, spoon the mushroom sauce over and scatter with chopped dill.
