Not a side dish, but an oriental perfume fairy tale. Sunny and aromatic.  With an intricate spice pattern. Juicy vegetables, round grain rice with garlic and parsley in the base and a gourmet trail of barberry, cumin, paprika and turmeric to complete the culinary composition.

Rice with a Bulgarian twist. Not even with a twist, but with a whole pepper. Bell pepper, of course. And also with juicy tomatoes, parsley, onions and black pepper. It turned out to be a very fragrant dish. And sincere.

A distant relative of mushroom risotto, but quick. No complications or cookbooks. Just the most delicate rice in a creamy sauce with onions and mushrooms. 15 minutes and that's that. A culinary swoon from the tantalizing scent of garlic and parsley is included.

Buckwheat with mushrooms like apple with cinnamon is a perfect combination. And the absolute top among the aromas of a cozy home. The noble taste of champignons is emphasized by spicy garlic, aromatic parsley and green onions. It's a pity, it ends quickly. Although there are 4 servings in the plate.

Buckwheat, of course, is the ‘queen of cereals’. But this does not mean that the queen does not like culinary experiments. Let's add native vegetables from the garden: carrots, onions and green onions for a special spring vigor. And then for juiciness in a tomato sauce made from ripe aromatic tomatoes. Ready! Natural side dish with an interesting character. Good both on its own and in combination with meat.
