Modernizing Eastern Europe’s Favorite Side Dish - Buckwheat | Гречка

Buckwheat! More than just a Little Rascal, it is a staple food in Eastern Europe and beloved in cultures all around the world. But why is this a forgotten crop in not only America, but the rest of the English speaking world. It seems Buckwheat might be poised for a comeback as a health food for those who think the blander the food, the better it is for you.

Today I will teach you how to make buckwheat in a more palatable way, by creating a fusion dish with Korean bibimbap! Using hot buckwheat and pork as a base instead of rice, you can turn this potentially offensive and certainly dull side dish into something really worth celebrating.

Both buckwheat veterans and buckwheat beginners are sure to love this universally approachable dish, regardless of culture or background.
