Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook buckwheat with mushrooms and onions? Prepare the following ingredients. In the recipe, buckwheat is cooked together with mushrooms, but you can take note of a version of this dish and cook it with already boiled cereal. For mushrooms, I take fresh champignons; you can use frozen, dried, or any forest mushrooms to your liking. The only spices I have are salt and ground black pepper; other spices or sets of spices are also available. Prepare a deep frying pan with a lid.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sort the champignons, rinse with running cold water, washing away any remaining soil and debris. Cut the mushrooms arbitrarily to your taste - cubes, slices. Peel the onions and cut them into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the selected frying pan on the fire and pour in vegetable oil. Place the chopped onions in the heated oil and fry for several minutes, stirring constantly so that the onions do not burn.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add chopped mushrooms to the frying pan and fry over high heat until the liquid evaporates (8 - 10 minutes). Add a little salt to the mushrooms.

5. STEP 5

   

   Clean the buckwheat from various debris: fine sand, husks, black pebbles, low-quality kernels, etc. To do this, rinse the buckwheat several times under cold water. Add the washed cereal to the frying pan, add salt and pepper to taste and fry the buckwheat and mushrooms over medium heat for a couple of minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add boiling water so that the water completely covers the buckwheat. Reduce heat, cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 15-20 minutes (depend on your stove). Then turn off the heat and leave the buckwheat with mushrooms under the lid for another 10-15 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Serve the prepared buckwheat with mushrooms hot. This is an independent dish for dinner, but can also become a side dish for meat dishes. When serving, sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh dill and parsley.

Wonderful Lenten dish Buckwheat with mushrooms and onions! I prepared it for my husband, but he didn’t get much of it) It turned out so delicious that the entire household dined on buckwheat and mushrooms. I had frozen champignons, I fried them with onions, which I used twice as much. We like lots of fried onions, they add juiciness and caramel flavor to the dish. Pre-frying the buckwheat with mushrooms and onions made the grains more crumbly. What made buckwheat a “side dish” and not a porridge. Great way! To pour the buckwheat, I took 1:2 water, so all the buckwheat was covered with liquid. Bring to a boil and keep on low heat for 15 minutes. And then under the lid for 20 minutes. During this time, all the moisture was absorbed and the result was amazing crumbly buckwheat with aromatic mushrooms. This is a delicious dish for the whole family!
