Buckwheat with pork

Description

The recipe won't take much time. If you don't have olive oil on hand, you can easily substitute it with sunflower oil. The porridge turns out to be a completely standalone and very tasty hot dish. Optionally, you can add a tomato to the recipe, adding it at the stage when you add the ketchup. This will add a slight tanginess. Serve hot.
