Buckwheat groats with milk is a healthy and nourishing dish that's perfect for breakfast or a light meal. Buckwheat is a gluten-free grain that's rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. This simple recipe combines the wholesome goodness of buckwheat with the creamy texture of milk for a delightful and nutritious dish.

Ingredients:

1 cup buckwheat flour
170g
2 cups water
470g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1.50 cups milk (1% fat)
370g

Instructions:

2. Cook the Groats:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the buckwheat from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Continue to stir occasionally.
- Simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the buckwheat has absorbed most of the water and the mixture has thickened.
3. Add the Milk:
- Gradually pour in the milk while continuously stirring. Make sure the milk is well incorporated into the buckwheat mixture.
- Continue to cook over low heat for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. It should be creamy and slightly thick.
4. Final Adjustments:
- Taste the buckwheat groats and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a bit more salt if needed.
5. Serve:
- Once the buckwheat groats with milk have reached the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Let it sit for a minute to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your nutritious and hearty buckwheat groats with milk!

Tips:

- Rinse the buckwheat: Before cooking, rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water to remove any impurities and excess starch. This will help achieve a better texture in the final dish.

- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help distribute heat more evenly, preventing the buckwheat from sticking to the bottom and burning.

- Stir occasionally: While cooking, stir the buckwheat occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent it from clumping together.

- Flavor variations: Add a touch of honey, maple syrup, or a pinch of cinnamon to enhance the flavor. You can also mix in fresh or dried fruits, nuts, or seeds for extra texture and nutrients.

- Adjust consistency: If you prefer a creamier consistency, you can add more milk or a dairy-free alternative during the last few minutes of cooking.

By following these steps, you can enjoy a warm, comforting bowl of buckwheat groats with milk. This recipe is not only easy to prepare but also packed with essential nutrients, making it an excellent addition to your diet. Enjoy it as a wholesome breakfast or a comforting light meal.
