Buckwheat with mushrooms

Cookinero 26 Feb 2025

India is considered the birthplace of buckwheat: it was grown there 5,000 years ago. First, it spread across Asia, then reached Europe. Interestingly, in Greece it was called Turkish cereal, and in Spain and Italy - Arabic. In Western Europe, buckwheat did not take root as a dish, but in Russia it is very popular. There are many ways to cook it. Buckwheat with mushrooms and onions in a frying pan is one of these options.
