Recipe Summary Buckwheat Cereal With Mushrooms And Onions

Buckwheat is a healthy side dish containing all 9 of the essential amino acids. It's very popular in Europe. Buckwheat is gluten free, as it's not a grain. This recipe is not as quick as a plain basic way to cook buckwheat, but it's so worth it and smells and tastes so good. Serve hot with a small piece of butter on top.

Ingredients | How To Use Buckwheat Flakes

1 cup buckwheat groats

1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste

1 onion, diced

1 carrot, diced

½ pound mushrooms, diced

1 tablespoon butter, or to taste

2 cups water

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Rinse buckwheat with cold water in a colander; drain.

Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir buckwheat until toasted and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and carrot until onion is golden, 5 to 10 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook and stir for 5 minutes more.

Melt butter in a pot over medium heat; add buckwheat and stir to coat. Add onion mixture, water, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Toasting the buckwheat in step 2 is optional. It will give the cereal a more intense buckwheat flavor.

Substitute broth for the water, if desired.
