Ingredients
- ½ cup dried porcini mushrooms
- 2 cups stock (bone broth, vegetable or chicken)
- 1 tsp (heaped) coconut oil
- ½ brown onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 cup raw buckwheat
- 1 heaped cup mixed mushrooms, sliced
- 1 heaped cup kale, finely sliced
- ½ cup parsley, chopped
- ⅓ cup coconut milk
- 2 generous pinches salt
- ground pepper to taste
Instructions
Put the dried porcini in a small dish and cover with boiling water. Set aside.
Pour the stock into a small saucepan and bring it to the boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer.
Heat a large saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Add the coconut oil, followed by the onion and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the buckwheat and sauté for a couple of minutes until well coated, stirring continuously. Pour in ½ cup of broth and stir gently until the liquid has absorbed. Drain your porcini mushrooms and slice. Add them to the saucepan with the other mushrooms and another ½ cup stock. Stir gently until the liquid has absorbed. Now add in the kale and another ½ cup stock and continue the process. With the last ½ cup of stock throw in your parsley and sea salt. The process of adding liquid and absorption will take about 15-20 minutes.
Once the liquid has completely absorbed, add the coconut milk and heat, stirring for 3 minutes or so to thicken. Season to taste. Serve with extra fresh parsley on top.
Note
• Buckwheat has a good chew so don't expect it to go too soft like risotto rice.
