Whenever I've cooked buckwheat I find the grains stick together to
create a mushy texture that I am not altogether fond of. Is there any good way to avoid this? |

Get a box of ener-g egg replacer. Use the equivalent of 1 egg per cup of dry, roasted buckwheat groats. 2. Mix enough egg replacer for 2 cups of dry, roasted buckwheat 3. Set 6 cups of water up to a boil 4. Put buckwheat groats in a pan, mix with the egg replacer. Sprinkle some black pepper into the mix. Dry roast mix in a frying pan for about 3 minutes. 5. When water is boiling add groats to it. Never add the groats to the water until the water is at a rolling boil 6. Bring the water back to a boil and set to low. Simmer until the water is absorbed.

Is there any good way to avoid this? Sounds like you might be overcooking it. Try rinsing it in several changes of running water first. You could also try bringing the water to the boil first and adding a little veg oil so that when you pour the buckwheat in it passes through the film of oil on the surface, then turn it down to a simmer***. I find this works well with other things that stick together. nemo *** Don't do this with kidney beans. They need a good 10 minutes' vigorous boiling before you turn them down to simmer, otherwise they're seriously toxic. |
