👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Rinse buckwheat groats under cold water. Set aside.
2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter or heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
4
Stir in the rinsed buckwheat groats and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until buckwheat is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
5
Stir in the sour cream or heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat through gently, but do not boil.
6
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped dill.

💡 전문가 팁

✓For a deeper mushroom flavor, use a mix of dried and fresh mushrooms. Rehydrate dried mushrooms in hot water, then add both the mushrooms and their strained soaking liquid to the stew.
✓Ensure the buckwheat is cooked until tender but not mushy.
✓Adjust the amount of liquid based on your desired stew consistency.
