Stewed buckwheat with mushrooms is a fragrant dish of Russian cuisine filled with depth of flavor and homely comfort. Buckwheat soaked in rich mushroom aroma acquires a tender texture, while golden-fried mushrooms, onions, and carrots add sweet notes. The dish is cooked slowly in the oven, giving it special softness and richness. Historically, such dishes were prepared in Russian ovens where they slowly cooked through, filling the home with warmth and the scents of nature. Stewed buckwheat is perfect for a family dinner or vegetarian meal, combining simplicity and sophistication. It can be served as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to meat alongside fresh vegetables and herbs.
