  • How do you make buckwheat with chicken and mushrooms?
    1. Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes. Wash the mushrooms and cut them coarsely. Sauté the onion and mushrooms in vegetable oil for 5–7 minutes.

    1. Pick over and rinse the buckwheat, then add it to the pot after the chicken.
    1. Pour in the water, add salt and ground pepper, cover, and cook over low heat for half an hour.
  • Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh parsley if you like.
  • Enjoy!

  • Every oil is good only up to a certain point — its smoke point, where it starts to burn and form toxic compounds, including carcinogens. For how to gauge the right frying temperature and pick the best oil for frying (and which to avoid altogether), see here.
