  • Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft and translucent.

  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release moisture and become golden brown.

  • Cook for another 2–3 minutes so the flavors blend together.

  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Cooking buckwheat in vegetable broth adds extra depth of flavor.Avoid overcooking the buckwheat to keep the grains fluffy rather than mushy.Use a mix of mushrooms such as cremini or portobello for richer flavor.A small squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the finished dish.
