Buckwheat Porridge with Mushrooms

Step 1

First, cook the buckwheat. The perfect ratio is 2 cups of water to 1 cup of groats. Add buckwheat to boiling salted water, then reduce heat to low. Important: do NOT stir the groats after adding them to the water.

Step 2

Cook until all water is absorbed. To check, gently move the porridge with a knife to see the bottom. If there’s no water left, turn off the heat and cover the pot.

Step 3

While the porridge is cooking, chop the mushrooms and onion.

Step 4

Sauté the onion in a small amount of oil (preferably olive) until lightly browned.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms and continue frying for about 5–7 minutes.

Step 6

Finely chop the parsley.

Step 7

It’s very simple: add the mushrooms and parsley to the buckwheat and gently mix everything together. That’s it! Delicious side dish is ready!
