Buckwheat Groats

[Guest guest]

I have become entranced with buckwheat. I love the flavor and texture.

This morning, I toasted a cup of groats, stirred in an egg to coat them

when they were cool, and cooked them in simmering water for 15 minutes.

Then I covered them and set them sit while I sauteed a quarter head of

diced cabbage, two carrots in rounds, a chopped onion. When the

vegetables were just tender, I combined them with the groats, sprinkled

them with a bit of salt and some lemon juice, and had some for

breakfast. Tbere's more than enough left for supper along with o nice

seiten cutlet.

 

I was surprised while reading about buckwheat to learn that it's not

really a grain but rather a fruit. Whodda guessed? Dietwise, though, it

certainly functions as a whole grain.
