Indeed, buckwheat has a sharp, concentrated flavor, especially after roasting. And if it is overcooked, then when cooking it will distribute a not very pleasant smell.

For the same reason, buckwheat porridge should not be allowed to burn to the bottom of the dish.

Buckwheat porridge with meat is a classic. But during the posts, when taboo is imposed on products of animal origin, the mistress is rescued by mushrooms: fresh, dried, canned, frozen.

White mushrooms, russula, oyster mushrooms, chanterelles, champignons can be added to fresh cereal and cook all together until done. Forest mushrooms are recommended to be boiled first and then combined with grits.

So do with dried mushrooms. But before cooking, they are first soaked in water or milk, and only after they are soft, they are subjected to further heat treatment — roasting with onions or stewing with grits.

Earlier, buckwheat was delivered to the store shelves unroasted, so it had to be picked first, removing impurities, and then roasted in a dry frying pan or baking sheet, placed in the oven.

Now buckwheat is sold already pre-fried, which simplifies its preparation.

According to the rules described in cookbooks, buckwheat is not washed, but only sorted, and then poured into boiling salted water.

But experience shows that the buckwheat will turn out more delicious, and it will boil faster if you rinse it after sorting and then soak in warm water for 2-3 hours. During this time, it swells well and will increase in volume by 2-3 times. Such buckwheat will be ready in literally 15-20 minutes.

To get crumbly buckwheat porridge, water must be one and a half times more than dry cereals.

Mistress to note

You probably noticed that each recipe indicated a different amount of water for cooking porridge.

It depends on the quality of the cereal, whether it was soaked in water before cooking, whether it was fried or not.

In addition, buckwheat - one of those cereals, which spoil the cooking is almost impossible. If you poured a little water and the buckwheat turns out to be dry, pour in a little more boiling water, mix, close the lid, then heat it on the fire, and your porridge will become soft and crumbly.

In case of excessive liquid, on the contrary, open the lid, mix the grits gently and, cooking on low heat, wait for the excess water to evaporate.

You can also put the pan in the oven and simmer until the cereal absorbs excess water and becomes crumbly.
