Cooked Buckwheat

Start by rinsing 150g of buckwheat under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil, add the rinsed buckwheat, and let it simmer covered on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until it becomes tender. Drain any excess water and set aside to cool.

Cabbage and Cucumber Salad

Thinly slice 100g of cabbage and 50g of cucumber. In a large bowl, mix the vegetables with a light dressing made from a blend of olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss well to combine and allow the salad to marinate for a few minutes before serving.

Chicken Breast in Creamy Sauce

Season a 120g chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. Heat a skillet with a small amount of cooking oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breast until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken and in the same skillet, add 50g of cream or yogurt, letting it simmer until the sauce thickens. Return the chicken to the skillet, coat it with the sauce, and cook for an additional minute.
