“Grechaniki” – Liver pancakes with buckwheat
Grechaniki is one of the varieties of liver pancakes. Do I need to say a lot about the usefulness of this dish? The name speaks for itself: a champion in the content of nutrients - buckwheat porridge in combination with tender chicken liver - simply a storehouse of vitamins and minerals!
Do your family members frown at the sight of buckwheat and don’t like liver? Then this recipe is just for your family! Delicate, fragrant pancakes are sure to gain popularity! The main thing is not to overcook them in the pan, because overcooked buckwheat loses its tenderness and becomes tough. It's better to give them more opportunity to soak in the milk. And buckwheat is served both with a side dish and as an independent dish, lightly seasoned with sour cream or mayonnaise. Preparation: 1) Peel the carrots and onions, wash and finely chop. Simmer until tender with the addition of vegetable oil 2) Rinse the turkey liver, remove the films and places of contact with bile. They have a characteristic greenish color. Pass the liver through a meat grinder. 3) Add a chicken egg, stewed carrots and onions, boiled buckwheat porridge, ground black pepper, and salt to the ground liver. Stir to obtain a homogeneous mass.
4) Spoon the resulting mixture into a heated frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil and fry on both sides. Then place all the buckwheat in a frying pan with wide sides, add a little milk, cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Ingredients: turkey liver - 500 gr., chicken egg - 1 pc., large carrots 1 pc., onions 2 pcs., buckwheat - 200 gr., salt, ground pepper - to taste. vegetable oil for frying.

A few more tips and tricks
The pancake batter should not be too thick so that a spoon can barely turn it. Therefore, be especially careful when taking flour. Its amount per half liter of liquid should not be more than three glasses. The flour must be sifted; thanks to this simple procedure, pancakes or pancakes turn out more airy and tender. It is best to do this procedure twice.
Don't forget to add oil to the pan where the pancakes are baked. An insufficient amount of it will also not bring the finished product to the desired shape. Never add baking soda to liquid, especially to kefir (it will immediately extinguish it and the effect of obtaining a fluffy pancake shape will not be achieved).
Soda should be mixed with a small amount of wheat flour. The secret of lush pancakes is quite simple - the desire to please your loved ones with delicious pastries. Of course, you can’t do without the required amount of products either. Delicious and tender pancakes can be prepared not only for breakfast, but also served for an afternoon snack or dinner. Both adults and children simply adore them.

How to choose meat
Turkey meat is considered a dietary product, since the ratio of BJU in it is balanced, and it is absorbed very quickly, therefore it is suitable for children from the first year of life, as it does not cause allergic reactions.
By appearance
Fresh turkey meat has a red tint: from soft pinkish to deep burgundy. A dark product has a higher protein content and less fat, while in a pinkish turkey these indicators are in the opposite ratio.
The skin of the turkey should be smooth, soft, and dry. If there are wet areas and mucus on the surface, this is evidence that the product is not fresh.
If, when pressing on the turkey flesh, the buyer sees that the fingerprint does not come off, then the carcass is not fresh. This product is not worth buying even at a tempting price.
A quality turkey weighs 5-10 kg. A bird of this size has meat that is considered the most delicious. If the weight of a turkey exceeds these indicators, then the meat is considered old, since a weight of 11 kg and above is typical for older individuals. Dishes made from the meat of such birds will turn out tough and dry.
Turkey meat in the weight category up to 5 kg becomes very soft and tender after cooking. But such a product will not bring much benefit, since immature birds have not yet accumulated a sufficient amount of vitamins and microelements in their bodies.
When purchasing a bird, special attention should be paid to its appearance. The comb should be light and the paws should be smooth with a grayish tint.
The meat should not have any unusual stains or damage. The smell of the product is only natural, without any ammonia or fragrances. The surface of the turkey's belly should be shiny, slightly moist and soft to the touch.
By growing method
It is recommended to purchase poultry that is sold by farms. Those individuals that had the opportunity to move around a lot and freely have meat that is much tastier than those that grew up in poultry farms. You can purchase products from farmers even from mature animals, as this will not affect the taste of the meat and its beneficial components.
In a large grocery store, it is recommended to choose products only from well-known manufacturers with a good reputation. Meat sold at a low price may be spoiled.
If you purchase a frozen turkey, you need to pay attention to the integrity of the packaging and the expiration date of the product.
It is better to buy fresh turkey meat in late autumn (October-December), since it is at this time that they are killed.
Turkey liver cutlets
Liver cutlets are a simple, tasty and quick to prepare dish. For liver cutlets, I used turkey liver, it is more tender than beef or pork. Hercules adds an interesting twist to the recipe for liver cutlets and saturates the cutlets with vitamins and minerals.
It is useful to consume Hercules or simply oatmeal to prevent stressful situations and to maintain immunity. However, everything is as usual, we cook both tasty and healthy!
By the way, I thought that my husband would not appreciate liver cutlets according to the new recipe; he was overfed with oatmeal since childhood and now he does not eat it. I have always made beef liver pancakes in the past and my husband really likes them. Now I decided to experiment. The husband was pleasantly surprised by the taste and could not understand what had changed in the cutlets and why they became tastier.
