Growing up in a Ukrainian household, I’ve eaten my fair share of buckwheat, usually either plain or in combination with some kinda meat. I’ve recently had the urge to give buckwheat another try since I have a rice cooker and didn’t really know what to eat it with.
I had some leftover veggies from yesterday (ruccola and soy sprouts mainly) and tried adding those to the buckwheat, but it was just okay-ish. Just tried a plate plain with just soy sauce and enjoyed it a lot actually! I could see some fried tofu going well with it, but other than that, I’m kinda lost here.
Do you guys have any recipes to share? Or seasoning you use if you just eat plain buckwheat? Thanks :)
Aside from dishes where it replaces rice, you could also grind it up and make crêpes, right? Those are good
Grind up the raw, dry kernels for flour or cooked buckwheat? Looking for recipes, I found a couple suggesting using it for sweet dishes like that - can’t quite imagine what it’d taste like
The dried ones, into flour yeah. Buckwheat crêpes are super delicious and I like them just fine for savory applications. Even better, replace some of the water in the batter for beer and then let it sit overnight in the fridge. Try searching “galette bretonne” instead, that should produce some appropriate recipes
