Buckwheat is a superfood that you may not know about. It's definitely under-appreciated and under-utilized in the US, but everyone should know how healthy and scrumptious it is!

It is made from roasted groats that are cooked with broth to a texture similar to rice. The dish was brought to America by Russian and Polish immigrants who called it "Kasha" or "Grechka".

It's also completely gluten free! It's name is a little deceiving because it's called buckwheat but there is no relation to wheat - none whatsoever! It's also just as simple to make as white rice.

Ingredients for Basic Buckwheat:

1 cup toasted buckwheat groats;
1 3/4 cups filtered water;
1-2 Tbsp butter, to taste (I used unsalted butter);
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste (I used sea salt);

How to Cook Buckwheat Kasha

Stove-top Method:

Rinse and drain buckwheat well.

In a medium sauce pan, combine buckwheat with 1Â¾ cups water, 1 Tbsp butter and Â½ tsp salt. Bring to a simmer then cover with a tight fitting lid and simmer on low for 18-20 min. Just like with rice, you should hear hissing while cooking and it will get quiet when done. Stir in additional 1 Tbsp butter if desired.

Rice Cooker Method:

Transfer all ingredients to the rice cooker and set on the white rice setting. When done, add an extra Tbsp of butter if desired and stir in 1-2 tsp water to moisten up the kernels if they seem dry. Serve hot.
