This warm diabetic-friendly salad is quite an unusual one. The taste of its original combination of products will pleasantly surprise you, your family and your guests.
Ingredients:
Buckwheat – ¾ cup
Brussels sprouts (washed, dried and cut in half) – 1 lb.
Bacon (can be substituted with turkey bacon) – 10 strips
Medium apples (peeled and cut into thin slices) – 2
Step 1 In a large non-stick frying pan, fry the buckwheat over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Then let it cool. Step 2 Combine egg white and vegetable oil in a bowl. Beat until smooth. Combine with the fried buckwheat and mix well. Then put the mix in the frying on which you fried the buckwheat. Step 3 Fry the mix over medium heat, occasionally stirring, until the egg white curdles and browns (about 3 minutes). Remove the pan from heat and let it cool. Step 4 Add 1/4 teaspoons of salt to the buckwheat and then add water. Return the frying pan to high heat and bring to a boil. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook the buckwheat for about 12 minutes. Step 5 In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Put it on a plate and let it cool. Leave 2 tbsp. of fat melted from the bacon in the frying pan. Step 6 Place the leeks and Brussel sprouts in a skillet with the grease from bacon. Add ¼ teaspoons of salt, stir. Fry covered over medium heat for 5 minutes. Step 7 Add the sliced apples to the pan with Brussel sprouts and onions. Fry for 5-10 minutes. Step 8 Prepare the honey sauce: Combine honey with thyme. Warm up for about 1-2 minutes in a microwave oven. Add apple vinegar and stir. Step 9 Combine the mix of the buckwheat, bacon, and Brussels sprouts with the leek and apples. Add the honey sauce and mix. Step 10 Put the warm salad on a plate, sprinkle with pomegranate arils if desired and serve. Bon Appetit!
