Ingredients:

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup buckwheat groats
  • 1 cup butternut squash, diced

  • 1 cup kale leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • optional drizzle of lemon juice & pinch of chili powder for spice.

Instructions:

  • In a medium-sized pot, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the buckwheat. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
  • In a separate pan over medium heat, add in the butternut squash, mushrooms, kale, sea salt, and 1/3 cup of water to sautee them. Cook, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes or until cooked through. (covering with a lid for a few mins may help to cook them without sticking).
  • Transfer the cooked buckwheat into bowls. Top with the kale mixture and spices enjoy!

NOTES – You can use pearl barley instead of buckwheat. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
