Buckwheat with Mushrooms
Main Dishes • Creole
Description
The homeland of this beloved grain lies somewhere on the border of present-day India and Nepal, and it made its way to Russia from Byzantium, hence its name — buckwheat. We love it for its simplicity in cooking and low cost, but buckwheat can evoke a sense of boredom in those whose recipe collections are limited to just a couple of dishes featuring this wonderful grain. Yet, it offers so many possibilities! You can make popcorn, risotto, soups, salads, and much more from it. Buckwheat with mushrooms is one of the classic ways to prepare it, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting: the finished dish can be topped with Parmesan or another fragrant cheese, and you can add celery or fresh tomatoes — the combination of toppings is limited only by your imagination.
