Ingredients

  • 1 cup Buckwheat Groats
  • 1.5 cups Water, broth, or milk of choice
  • 1 Tbsp Oil or ghee
  • 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Rinse buckwheat well in a fine colander and transfer to Instant Pot.
  • Add milk, oil or ghee, and salt. Stir.  
  • Close lid, making sure the valve is closed. Select “manual” and set it to 2 minutes.
  • When cooking has finished and it beeps, allow the cooker to naturally release the pressure. This takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • After pressure has fully released, open the lid very carefully. I always do this with a towel just in case!
  • Gently stir and scoop into bowls. Do not over stir, or it will turn to mush quickly!
  • Serve as a side dish, or as a base for vegetable or stir fry bowls.
  • Remainder can be kept in the refrigerator for a couple of days, or place in individual serving containers and freeze for future use.
