How to Cook

Rinse the buckwheat and drain it. For a pilaf, toast it for a minute or two in a little butter or oil, then add 2 cups of salted water for every cup of buckwheat, cover and simmer on low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Rest it off the heat for 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.

Serve it with butter as a side for meat and stews, mix it with fried onions and mushrooms, cook it softer in milk or water for a breakfast porridge, or toss it cold into a salad.

What Is Buckwheat?

Despite the name, buckwheat is not wheat at all - it is the seed of a plant related to rhubarb and sorrel, and this pack is marked gluten free. In Turkish it is karabugday, black wheat. It is an everyday staple in Russian, Ukrainian and Eastern European kitchens, where kasha is the classic dish, and it works anywhere you would use rice, bulgur or quinoa.
