Grechnevaya Kasha - Russia traditional dish

🧂 材料

200 g Buckwheat groats (roasted or raw)(If using raw buckwheat, toasting is essential for flavor. Roasted buckwheat is also available and can be used directly.)
400 ml Water(Or vegetable broth for added flavor.)
30 g Butter(Unsalted butter is recommended, adjust to taste. Can be divided for cooking and finishing.)
1 tsp Salt(Or to taste. Fine sea salt or kosher salt works well.)

👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Rinse the buckwheat groats thoroughly under cold running water using a fine-mesh sieve. Drain well. If using raw buckwheat, toast the rinsed and drained groats in a dry, medium saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until they become fragrant and turn a deeper golden-brown color. This toasting step is crucial for developing a nutty flavor and aroma. If using pre-roasted buckwheat, you can skip this toasting step.

2
Add the 400ml of water (or broth) and 1 tsp of salt to the saucepan with the toasted (or raw) buckwheat. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
⏱️ 2 minutes
3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the saucepan tightly with a lid, and let it simmer gently. Cook for approximately 15-18 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the buckwheat is tender. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to ensure even cooking.
⏱️ 15-18 minutes
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for another 5 minutes. This allows the steam to finish cooking the grains. Uncover the pot, add the butter, and gently fluff the kasha with a fork. Stir until the butter is melted and evenly distributed throughout the grains. Serve hot.
