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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Take off the string, lay the kruchenyky on the buckwheat, spoon the mushroom sauce over and scatter with chopped dill.
