Hello everyone! Today I wanted to try out an easy recipe for lunch. I prepared vegetables in a Lodge cast iron skillet 🍳 and buckwheat in my Instant Pot.

Ingredients:

• 1 onion (cut in cubes)

• 4 zucchini (cut in cubes)

• 2 carrots 🥕 (cut in cubes)

• 1-2 tomatoes 🍅 (cut in cubes)

• Fresh garlic (based on preference)

• Salt and spices (based on preference)

• 1 sweet pepper (cut in cubes) 

• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil 

Instructions:

1. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil into the lodge cast iron skillet and place in the onion (fry it until it becomes soft and a slightly golden color)

2. Then, add in carrots 🥕 and mix everything until the carrots become soft

3. Add in zucchini, mix everything until the zucchini becomes soft

4. Add in sweet pepper and tomatoes 🍅, mix everything until the tomatoes and sweet pepper become soft

5. Add in garlic (I used a garlic press), along with salt and spices. Mix everything very well together and let the veggies fry in the skillet for a few more minutes (so that the juice from the veggies evaporates)

6. Now prepare buckwheat in the Instant Pot

7. Pour in 1 cup of buckwheat into the Instant Pot

8. Pour in 1 & 1/2 cup of water

9. Add in salt and put in a couple slices of butter

10. Mix everything together

11. Close the Instant Pot Lid

12. Choose the program “Rice” (the Instant Pot will set the timer itself for 12 minutes on low pressure)

13. Once the program finishes, don’t open the Instant Pot lid until the pressure and steam are released themselves (it should take about 10-15 minutes)

14. The buckwheat is now ready

15. Serve the buckwheat with your fried veggies 

Enjoy your lunch! 🍲
