When the vegetables are browned and the butter turns golden, add the minced meat. Take a long-toothed fork and vigorously mash the minced meat, breaking the layers into small lumps. If the frying pan is coated, then use a spatula or wooden fork.

Knead the minced meat until it changes color from reddish to gray. Increase the heat and evaporate the meat juice. Add salt, pepper and other spices to your taste.

Three tomatoes on a coarse grater, add to the minced meat with vegetables. Stir and fry until the tomato acquires a contrasting sweet and sour taste. Instead of fresh tomatoes, you can add sauce or paste.

Modern housewives either cook it on the stove or simmer it in the oven, but no matter how hard they try, they cannot prepare porridge soaked in the true buckwheat spirit. So our hostesses try to complement the taste of this side dish with new notes so that it can please every member of the family. And they do this through various sauces and gravies. And since this grain can be combined with almost any product, it is not difficult to prepare a delicious sauce for buckwheat.

How to emphasize and what to complement the buckwheat side dish? Make a good sauce!

Minced pork sauce for rice

The minced meat sauce for pasta (and other side dishes) can be varied by including mushrooms and mayonnaise. To make the dish juicy, it is recommended to use minced pork.

Composition of ingredients

The recipe includes the following products:

minced lean pork fillet – 500 g;
purified vegetable oil – 20 ml;
fresh boletus, white or oyster mushrooms – 200 g;
onion head – 1 pc.;
homemade or store-bought classic mayonnaise – 10-15 ml;
table salt – 7-12 g.

To improve the meat aroma, you can add a set of pork spices to your list of products.

Step-by-step cooking process

The algorithm for creating mushroom gravy for rice is as follows:

The onion needs to be peeled and chopped.
Mushrooms need to be cleaned of defects and cut into medium-sized pieces.
Next, pour oil into a double-bottomed frying pan and heat it.
Place the onion slices in the oil and fry until lightly browned. The process takes approximately 2 minutes.
Add minced meat to the fried onions and fry the food on a high heat burner for about 5 minutes.
Then you need to reduce the fire power to moderate values, and add mushrooms to the contents. Fry the ingredients, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
After the time has passed, you need to add salt, spices (if used) and mayonnaise to the ingredients. Mix the ingredients and reduce the heat on the stove to a minimum. The contents should be simmered for approximately 10-15 minutes. The pan should be covered with a lid while stewing.

The finished gravy should sit. Therefore, it is recommended to consume it 15-20 minutes after it is ready.

Minced pasta for spaghetti in the oven

This dish is wildly popular in modern restaurants. It is tasty, satisfying, specific and not boring. But not everyone can afford to visit restaurants often to enjoy themselves. It’s easy enough to prepare it in your home kitchen and feed the whole family at once.

Components:

Pasta – 600 g;

Veal tenderloin – 400 g;
Cheese – 250 g;
Paprika – 1 pc.;
Onion – 1 pc.;
Garlic – 3 cloves;
Eggs – 3 pcs.;
Cilantro - a bunch;
Olive oil – 2 tbsp. l.

Cooking time: 40 minutes.

Calorie content: 275 Kcal/100 g.

We wash the meat and cut it into pieces with a fillet knife, so that it is convenient to place it in the funnel of an electric meat grinder, and twist it into minced meat along with the garlic. Sauté chopped onion and paprika in olive oil.

Boil the pasta until half cooked and immediately drain the water to prevent porridge from forming. Let them be a bit firm and cook through the cooking process. Lightly fry the minced meat in a frying pan, add vegetables and ground tomato juice.

Place the pasta in a deep glass roasting pan and distribute the minced meat and vegetables on top. Turn on the thermostat to 195 °C. Beat the eggs in a small bowl, add cilantro, grated cheese and pour the dressing over the pasta. Let it cook for twenty-five minutes.

Minced meat sauce with mushrooms and pickles

The minced meat sauce with mushrooms and cucumbers has an unusual taste and can be served with both cereals and pasta.

Composition of ingredients

The set of ingredients for the gravy is as follows:

ground meat. Minced meat can be prepared from any type of meat - 600 g;
clean medium-sized champignons – 12 pcs.;
medium onion – 2 pcs.;
dense pickled cucumbers. Choose a small ingredient - 5-6 pcs.;
wheat flour – 40 g;
water purified from impurities – 550-600 ml;
sunflower seed oil, refined – 35-40 ml;
spices for minced meat (if possible, choose without salt) – 10-15 g;
table salt – 15-18 g.

The type and amount of greens in the recipe should be chosen according to taste.

Step-by-step cooking process

The gravy design scheme includes the following steps:

It is recommended to arrange the peeled onions and mushrooms into thin slices.
Cucumbers should be cut into very small cubes. Chop the greens with a knife.
Pour oil into a frying pan with a thick bottom and high sides and fry the onion and mushroom mixture in it.
When the mushroom juice has evaporated from the frying pan, add minced meat to the frying pan, mix the ingredients and fry the components over moderate heat for approximately 10 minutes.
Next, add spices, salt and cucumbers to the pan. Mix water with flour and pour the resulting solution into the contents. Mix the ingredients and simmer for about 20-25 minutes.

Add greens to the prepared gravy and mix the ingredients. Let the contents rest for about 10 minutes.

The gravy will have the desired texture, and the meat will retain its juices and taste if you follow the basic tips during the cooking process (the type of side dish, mashed potatoes or pasta does not affect the tips):

It is recommended to fry the flour in a dry frying pan until slightly darkened before adding it to the gravy. Thanks to frying, flour does not form lumps after being added to the mixture;
It is recommended to prepare the minced meat yourself (as a result the composition of the product will be known exactly). In this case, the prepared meat (washed, dried and without tendons) does not need to be chopped very much. It is enough to scroll once through a meat grinder. As a result, the minced meat will be more juicy, and the gravy will have a pronounced meat taste;
after adding minced meat to the gravy, the burner power should be increased to a maximum for approximately 5 minutes. As a result of maximum heating, meat juices will be preserved even in small pieces of meat;
After introducing the liquid ingredients, the gravy should be simmered on low heat on the stove. Slow simmering allows the ingredients to fully absorb each other’s aromas and tastes.
Do not overcook the minced meat-based gravy on the stove, as vegetables or pasta may turn into mush and the meat may become tough.

How to make ground beef gravy: general rules

Beef plays the first role in the dish. Since the meat is ground into minced meat, thereby significantly reducing cooking time, any part of the carcass is suitable for gravy. It is better, of course, to choose sirloin, flank or tenderloin, but shoulder blade and brisket will work for minced meat.

Before grinding the meat, wash it well and pat dry with paper towels. Then the films and fat are cut off, the tendons are cut out and cut into small pieces. To make the gravy, the beef is minced through a large-mesh meat grinder. There is no need to grind meat in a blender, turning it into porridge.

In any version of the gravy, the ground beef complements the vegetables. They are washed, peeled, and finely chopped. Fry and combine with meat in the sequence indicated in the recipe.

Vegetables are sauteed over medium heat, and when adding minced meat, the flame of the burner is increased. Thanks to this technique, small pieces of beef are “sealed”, retaining maximum juices inside.

The next step in preparing ground beef gravy is adding the liquid ingredients and simmering over low heat. You can stew meat and vegetables in tomato, sour cream, cream, milk, or your own juice. On average, this takes 15 minutes. The total cooking time is 1 hour.

Step-by-step preparation

I used durum wheat pasta. Place the pasta in boiling salted water: for 200 grams of pasta, 2 liters of water. Bring to a boil and cook over low heat for 20 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid and let the pasta steep for another 10 minutes. Place the finished pasta in a colander and rinse.
Let's prepare vegetable sauce for pasta. Wash the tomato, cut off the top and cut into small cubes. Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds and stem and chop finely. I used half red and half green pepper.
Heat 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the vegetables in it. The heat is medium, cooking time is 10 minutes, do not forget to stir.
Pour the pasta into the pan with the gravy and add a knob of butter. Mix everything well and simmer for 3 minutes. The pasta is ready.
Cut the pork flesh into small pieces, peel the onion and chop coarsely.
Grind the meat and onion in a blender until smooth.
Soak the loaf in milk.
Transfer the minced meat into a deep bowl, add the soaked loaf and chopped garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
Mix everything well with your hands. The minced meat is ready.
With wet hands, take a small amount of minced meat and form oblong or round cutlets. There is no need to dredge them, so no additional flour or breadcrumbs are needed. I use all the minced meat.

This dish will delight you with its ease of preparation and excellent result, which is that the lunch will be quite complete and very satisfying. Serve fresh vegetable salad with pasta and cutlets. You can use regular pasta instead of durum pasta and cook it according to the instructions on the package.
