Balanced Homemade Meal Recipe

Preparing the Boiled Eggs

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. 2. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes. 3. Prepare an ice-water bath. Once the eggs are done, transfer them to the ice-water bath to stop the cooking process. 4. Peel the eggs once they are cool enough to handle.

Cooking the Buckwheat

1. Rinse the buckwheat under cold water until the water runs clear. 2. In a medium saucepan, combine the buckwheat with water in a 2:1 water-to-buckwheat ratio. 3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes, or until the buckwheat is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Assembling the Dish

1. Slice the boiled eggs, tomato, and lettuce. 2. Place a serving of buckwheat on a plate, then top with the sliced eggs, tomato, and lettuce. 3. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
