Buckwheat with Mushrooms Recipe
Ingredients:
- Buckwheat: 1 cup (raw)
- Mushrooms: 300g (any variety, such as cremini or button), sliced

- Vegetable Broth or Water: 2 cups

Instructions:

Rinse the Buckwheat:
- Rinse the buckwheat under cold water to remove any dust or impurities.
-
Cook the Buckwheat:
- In a saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the buckwheat is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Sauté the Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil (or butter) over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
-
Add the Mushrooms:
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and have released their moisture.
-
Combine Buckwheat and Mushrooms:
- Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the cooked buckwheat to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through.
- Season with salt, pepper, and thyme (if using). Adjust the seasoning to taste.
-
Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm as a main dish or a side.
Tips:
- You can add other vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini for more variety.
- This dish is great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
