Before You Start
Measure the buckwheat and water, dice the pear, and set the cinnamon and flax within reach so nothing sits and scorches while you look for it.
How To Make It
- Add the cooked buckwheat and water to a small pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium high heat, about 2 to 3 minutes, until the surface just starts to bubble at the edges.
- Turn the heat to medium low and cook, stirring every minute so it does not catch, 5 to 8 minutes, until it is soft and creamy rather than watery.
- Stir in the cinnamon off the heat so it blooms without turning bitter.
- Spoon into a bowl, top with the diced pear and ground flax, and serve.
Fix It: If it turns stiff and gluey, loosen it with a splash of hot water and stir, since buckwheat keeps drinking up liquid as it sits.
Microwave
- Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
- Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
- Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
