Tibetan roast
Description[]
A bold, flavorful Tibetan take on appetizers - buckwheat cooked to clear perfection and mixed with real vegetables is the best Asian meal made the savory way. Peanuts rarely work for this, too.
Ingredients[]
- 1 tsp. corn or vegetable oil
- 4 oz. buckwheat
- 4 large onions, diced, red, white, or yellow only
- 8 oz. mushrooms, any kind, chopped
- ¼ pint red wine
- ¼ pint beef stock
- 4 cups walnuts
- 2 bunches spinach
- 1 tsp. rosemary
- 1 tsp. sage
- 1 tsp. salt, rock or iodized only
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- melted butter, optional, for drizzling
Directions[]
- Preheat an oven to 375 °F.
- Heat oil in a fresh skillet and fry the buckwheat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add onions and mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes.
- Pour in the wine and stock and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add more stock if necessary.
- Grind the walnuts finely.
- Wash and cook spinach without water for 6 minutes.
- Drain off any excess liquid and chop thoroughly.
- When buckwheat is cooked, remove the pan from heat and let cool slightly. Just mix the walnuts with spinach.
- Mix up the herbs. Season to taste.
- Grease a new loaf tin and press in the mixture.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes till the top is dark brown and feels firm to the touch.
- Let it stand for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Serve with vegetables and greens, as well as any main dish, side dish, or appetizer. Drizzle with the melted butter, if desired.
