Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 My favorite way to cook buckwheat uses egg, so you might not be happy with that, but I cook it without for my son.... Mix one cup of buckwheat groats (which can be bought in different fineness of grain and we prefer medium) with one beaten egg (optional) and saute this mix in the oil of your choice with chopped onion until each grain seems completely separated. Then add 2 cups of water or vegetable broth, cover, reduce the heat and steam....My grandmother cooked buckwheat groats this way and used it as a sidedish for pot roast..... Buckwheat has a strong nutty taste, its own unique taste. You should probably taste it before deciding what steamed vegetables you would like to. It is quite good simply on its own....I like to mix it with steamed small peas and almonds and baby carrots cut on the diagonal. I think of it as a winter food.
