Buckwheat Groats

[SGWhiskers]

I bought buckwheat groats. I know I can turn them into a oatmeal like dish. What else do I do with them? I'm gluten-free/cf/egg free. Thanks for the hints. Food has gotten so mundane latey and I need to liven it up. Oh, tomatoes are on my suspicious list dispite passing allergy testing.

Try googling the word "kasha" for recipes. That's what buckwheat is known as in Russia and Eastern Europe and that's where it is used the most. I know that buckwheat groats can be made into a savoury side dish that can be used to accompany meals instead of rice or potatoes.

Also, I use this handy shortcut to shorten the cooking time when using buckwheat groats to make porridge. The night before, I put the buckwheat into a wide thermos, cover with boiling water, seal and leave to soak overnight. So the next morning I only need to cook them for five minutes instead of forty minutes. I cook them with a mixture of milk and water and add honey, banana and cinnamon. Delicious!

You can make soaked grain pancakes if you like pancakes....This is how I make them.....Soaked grain pancakes....The night before you make them for breakfast...measure into a blender jar..... 1/3 C uncooked rice (I use brown), 2/3 C uncooked buckwheat groats and 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar...then add enough water to cover grains, (I use 3/4C to 1C water)....blend this for about 3 minutes till smooth...the mixture needs to swirl as you blend....let this sit on the cabinet till the AM...about 12 hours, even longer if time permits ..can be up to 24....In the AM add 2 Tablespoons of oil, 1 egg sub, 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/3 teaspoon soda.....blend this well.....bake on a hot griddle.....we like these better than using the flour recipe I make from scratch....for the egg sub I use ground flax seeds....about 1 Tablespoon ground flax to 2 to 3 Tablespoons of water...let it set till the mixture is gellied.... the apple cider vinegar is supposed to make grains more digestable...I use this same recipe with steel cut oats or rolled oats too....I've never tried it with other grains, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with millet, corn grits, etc....If you like a more "stick together" pancake you can add about 1/2 teaspoon zanthan....they can be slightly crumbly....I don't add it....
