Buckwheat with Mushrooms

Buckwheat with mushrooms is a classic combination in Russian home cooking, where a simple grain turns into a full dish thanks to a fragrant mushroom saute. Part of what makes this recipe appealing is that it doesn’t call for anything fancy — ordinary button mushrooms from the supermarket give plenty of flavor, and buckwheat brings its own distinct nutty note to the mix.

This dish works equally well as a savory breakfast or as a side for meat or fish, and it easily stands on its own as a meatless main — buckwheat is a good source of plant protein and fiber, while mushrooms contribute a meaty, umami depth that’s often used in vegetarian cooking as a stand-in for meat.
