BUCKWHEAT GROATS
This classic Ukrainian toasted buckwheat groats cooked in water until soft and fluffy, served with some butter and salt as a healthy gluten-free dish. These buckwheat groats
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat groats toasted, "kasha" type
- 2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon butter for serving
- 1 pinch salt for serving
Instructions
- Sort, rinse and drain 1 cup of buckwheat.
- Combine 1 cup of groats, 2 cups of water and salt in a medium-size saucepan with the lid. Bring it to boil, turn the heat on low and cook for about 15-20 min until the grains are soft but not mushy and the water is fully absorbed.
- Turn off the heat, let it rest for 10 minuted covered. Fluff with the fork, add some butter, and serve hot as your favorite and healthy side dish.
Notes
- If you desire more savory buckwheat, you can use broth instead of water.
- To make it cook even faster, boil your water in a tea pot first. Poor it over the groats and cook until done.
- Use Ukrainian or Russian Roasted buckwheat brands. It cooks to perfection, tastes better and is not mushy. I buy mine on Amazon or in Easter European stores.
