    Ingredients

    • 600 grams turkey fillet
    • 1/2 glass buckwheat
    • 1 1/5 glass cold boiled water
    • 2-3 medium sized carrots
    • 1 onion
    • black pepper, red pepper and coriander powder
    • salt

    Instructions

      • Wash the buckwheat, remove any black seeds and pour over with cold boiled water. Leave over night. (Or do it in the morning for an evening meal)

      • Peal onion and carrot. Finely chop the onion, grate the carrot and fry in vegetable oil. Separately fry diced turkey fillet until half-done.

      • Combine fried onions and carrot with turkey, add spices and salt, braise until almost ready.

      • Add the buckwheat (pour the water out first), mix and braise for 2-3 minutes.

      • Switch off the heat and leave under the lid for 15 minutes. The buckwheat will induce the turkey sauce and preserve all its vitamins.
            Enjoy!

        For some reason we have a large patch of nettels in our backyard and in googling to find how best to get rid of I read that nettels are edible. This surprised me as we never considered them as such growing up years ago on the East Coast. I wondered about recipes and lo I came across Kimberley’s recipe for braised w/ gnocchi & nettels. We’ll have to give it a try here in San Diego. I had my 1st braised pork dish on Valentine’s and I have to agree w/ Elizabeth. It was fantastic!

        Hi Rudy,
        Haha this is a fun way to discover indeed. And a fun way to get rid of the nettles is eating them – why not, they are full of goodness 😉

        Can be used for quiches and pastry fillings combined with crumbly cheeses. Makes most delicious pizza topping too.
