Bigos with Buckwheat and Turkey Recipe
Bigos is a dish typical for many European cuisines: Ukrainian, Polish, Lithuanian, Belarusian, German. As a rule, this is a combination of stewed sauerkraut with meat. The idea of cooking bigos with buckwheat was given to me by Zhenya Klopotenko. But my husband does not like sauerkraut in any heat treatment. So I got out of it with a fresh one. It turned out very tasty. I recommend it to everyone
