Not so long ago we were in a Ukrainian restaurant and saw an interesting dish on the menu - Greek people. We did not order them there on purpose, but decided to cook them ourselves so that we could try them at home in a relaxed atmosphere.

Saturday morning began with a trip to the market for liver and fat pad. We bought the liver from beef, and the fatty net from lamb.

Now a little about the Greeks themselves. They are a well-fried "envelope" stuffed with buckwheat, liver and fried onions. Buckwheat and liver, as a rule, are dryish, but if wrapped in a fat net, then these ingredients will become juicy and tender.

Greek people can be served as an independent dish, simply garnished with salad or vegetables. Here you have both meat and a side dish :-) You can cook them in advance, and just warm them up before serving. We do not recommend eating Greek people cold - all the same, dishes with the use of a fatty mesh are tastier when hot.

And if you make more fillings, then you can add an egg and flour to it and fry delicious liver pancakes with buckwheat. We did just that. It would be possible to lay out the recipe, but they did not have time to take a picture - they ate everything right there :-)

Ingredients:

• Fat mesh - 0.5 kg.
• Buckwheat - 150 gr.
• Beef liver - 300 gr.
• Bulb onions - 2 pcs.
• Vegetable oil for frying;
• Salt and pepper to taste.

How to cook Greek people:

Step 1

Cook buckwheat in boiling salted water until tender.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and fry in vegetable oil.

Step 3

My liver, cut out the films and pass through a meat grinder.

Step 4

Wash the fat mesh and dry it with a towel.

Step 5

Making the filling - mix buckwheat, liver and fried onions. Salt, pepper to taste.

Step 6

We wrap the filling in a fat mesh in the form of small cutlets.

We wrap the filling in a fat net

Step 7

We heat the pan and lightly grease it with vegetable oil; during the frying process, enough fat will be melted out of the shell of the Greek people. We fry the Greek people under the lid until cooked, or, alternatively, you can bake them in the oven.

Very often for my family, I cook offal dishes, in particular from the liver. We adore any kind of liver. We especially respect beef liver and, of course, tender chicken. But we do not treat pork liver in any way and do not like to use it for cooking, although many housewives, on the contrary, prefer to cook from pork liver. In general, as the saying goes: "There are no comrades for taste and color" ...

Therefore, everyone should cook from the liver they prefer for themselves - today we will use chicken liver to make delicious pancakes. But the pancakes will not be quite ordinary, but with the addition of tasty and very healthy cereal - buckwheat. We can say - these are Greek people, only it is not cooked in the form of cutlets, but in the form of pancakes. It turned out very tasty and I want to say that such pancakes can be fed, for example, to a child who does not really "respect" this cereal. Naturally, as a useful "additive", instead of buckwheat, you can add any cereal to the liver pancakes: boiled rice, pearl barley, and maybe millet or wheat ... It's up to you, but the pancakes will still be very tasty, healthy and satisfying.

Would need:

• Chicken liver (or any other) - 500 gr.
• Boiled or steamed buckwheat - 2 cups
• Milk - 1 glass (or 200-300 gr. Sour cream)
• Bulb onions - 1 pc.
• Salt, pepper - to taste
• Flour - until the consistency of heavy cream is obtained
• Vegetable oil - for frying pancakes
• Sour cream, fried onions and carrots - for serving pancakes

How to make Grechanika liver pancakes:

We wash the chicken liver thoroughly and sort out the veins ... Pass it through a meat grinder with the addition of onions. Add milk (or sour cream), salt and pepper to taste, boiled buckwheat and sifted flour. Knead to a state of not thick sour cream and begin to bake the pancakes in a pan with preheated vegetable oil.

Fry on both sides (about 1 minute) until a beautiful golden brown crust is formed.

Put the finished liver pancakes with buckwheat in a prepared stewpan or in a frying pan. You can layer the Greek people with fried onions and carrots.

I really like to do this, but today I just made a vegetable fry and served it in the center on a plate with sour cream, spread liver pancakes around.

Liver pancakes are always tender, melting in the mouth.

These "Grechaniki" pancakes turned out to be even tastier and you don't have to serve a side dish for such a dinner or snack, because we put it inside each pancake ...

Bon appetit, Svetlana and my home site!
