🧂 Ingredientes
- 200 g Buckwheat groats (kasha)
- 400 ml Water
- 300 g Mushrooms(sliced (e.g., champignons, porcini))
- 1 large Onion(finely chopped)
- 50 g Butter
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 100 ml Sour cream(optional, for serving)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper(freshly ground)
- for garnish Fresh parsley or dill(chopped)
👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water. In a saucepan, combine buckwheat with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the buckwheat is tender. Let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

While the buckwheat is cooking, heat butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- 4
Season the mushroom and onion mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5
Add the cooked buckwheat to the skillet with the mushroom and onion mixture. Stir well to combine everything.
- 6
Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring gently, to allow the flavors to meld and the buckwheat to lightly fry. If using, stir in a dollop of sour cream at the end, or serve it on the side.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley or dill.
💡 Consejos de Profesional
- ✓For a richer flavor, use dried wild mushrooms (like porcini) rehydrated in hot water. Use the mushroom soaking liquid (strained) as part of the cooking liquid for the buckwheat.
- ✓Ensure the buckwheat is cooked until tender but not mushy. It should retain a slight bite.
- ✓Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms; this will steam them instead of browning them.
