All the time the porridge should be stirred with a spatula so that it does not burn. Buckwheat is fried until it becomes dry and a characteristic buckwheat aroma appears, after which it must be removed from the heat.
- We take the onion and cut it with a knife. If it is small, you can cut it in half and cut into half rings. If the onion is large, it is worth cutting the half again in half and cut each part into quarters of the ringlet.

This should be done with the help of a spatula and so that it is evenly distributed over the entire area. Immediately after buckwheat, pour 1 liter of the prepared broth. If necessary, in the future it will be possible to add some more water.
