- 200 ml Vegetable or chicken broth

👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Cook the buckwheat groats according to package directions. Drain any excess water and set aside.
💡 专业技巧: Rinsing the buckwheat before cooking can help remove any bitterness. - 2
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove onions from the skillet and set aside.
💡 专业技巧: Slowly sautéing the onions will bring out their natural sweetness. - 3
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced smoked pork (or kielbasa) and cook for another 3-5 minutes until lightly crisped.
💡 专业技巧: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking mushrooms; cook in batches if necessary. - 4
Prepare the béchamel sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
💡 专业技巧: Whisking continuously prevents lumps from forming in the sauce. - 5
Remove the béchamel sauce from the heat. Whisk in the beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Be careful not to scramble the eggs; the residual heat will cook them.
💡 专业技巧: Adding eggs off the heat ensures they emulsify into the sauce without cooking through. - 6
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish.
💡 专业技巧: Using a well-greased dish prevents the casserole from sticking. - 7
In a large bowl, combine the cooked buckwheat groats, sautéed onions, mushrooms, and pork mixture. Pour the béchamel sauce over the mixture and stir gently to combine everything evenly. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
💡 专业技巧: Ensure all ingredients are well distributed for even flavor in every bite. - 8
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
💡 专业技巧: A generous layer of cheese ensures a golden, bubbly crust. - 9
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and golden brown. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley before serving.
💡 专业技巧: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking before serving to allow it to set.
