A friend of mine asked how to make regular buckwheat groats...easy. The proportions are 1:3
- 1 cup Buckwheat groats
- 3 cups water
- pinch of salt
Start boiling the water on the stove. Add the buckwheat groats after a while, you don't have to wait until the water is boiling. Be sure to add some salt, even if you are putting something sweet on top, the salt brings out the flavor. The water will start to foam after a while, at this point I like to turn off the heat, or turn it down really low, cover the pot and let it sit. It typically takes 20-30 minutes to completely cook. If you find that the buckwheat is still hard you can add some water. If it is too watery, then let it sit with the lid off.
You can eat it by itself, or top it with something sweet like honey and milk, or put a kind of sauce on top. It is a great substitute for rice at the dinner table.
Enjoy
