A simple and proven way to cook delicious buckwheat for breakfast without cooking. Cooking requires only buckwheat, water and time.
On the Internet I saw how one American chef prepares buckwheat porridge for breakfast without cooking. Americans are new to buckwheat, so the chef presents this dish as a super healthy breakfast.
We, Russians, cannot be surprised by the super usefulness of buckwheat, it is not for nothing that it was first dared in all stores before quarantine. And the cooking method does not surprise me at all. When I saw him preparing it, I remembered my camping experience.
Once, on a mountain hike, we got stuck on a pass and found ourselves completely without firewood. It was near a forest, so we did not take gas burners. I had to get out.
And we cooked our own food in the way that the American chef presents as something unique. Let's tell you how to cook buckwheat without boiling.
Step-by-step recipe on how to cook buckwheat for breakfast without cooking
I pour buckwheat into a jar, fill it with cold water and add some salt to taste (proportions, as usual: for 1 glass of buckwheat 2 glasses of water). I close the jar with a lid and leave it overnight.
During this time, buckwheat absorbed almost all the liquid and became soft. Since I cook buckwheat for breakfast, I will sweeten it.
I put the buckwheat in the blender bowl, add a whole banana, a little chocolate icing (I got it from some dessert) and add maple syrup as a sweetener. Syrup can be replaced with honey or sugar, or not added at all.
I punch with a blender until smooth. It took me about 3-4 minutes. I transfer the resulting mass to a plate and decorate it with fresh fruits and nuts on top. I used pear, hazelnuts, chocolate drips and some dried cherries. I wonder what such buckwheat tastes like?
I was worried that buckwheat had not completely absorbed water and it would turn out to be a little hard, but it seemed in vain. The taste is just right. Buckwheat is not at all hard, but due to the sweet banana and chocolate it reveals its taste in a new way. I will cook some more.
