How to cook buckwheat

For cooking buckwheat, water is taken according to the calculation: 1 part of buckwheat to 2 parts of water. Pour water over the buckwheat, add salt, and add your favorite spices. Dill, basil, paprika, coriander, parsley, and oregano go best with this porridge. There is no need to stir the porridge when cooking. To check whether the porridge is ready, run a spoon along the bottom of the pan - if there is no water, then you can remove it from the heat.

Also, you can fry onions and carrots and add them to ready-made buckwheat (then you don't need to add butter).
