Toast the buckwheat in a dry pot for 3 minutes so the grain aroma opens.
Add the water and salt and close the lid.
Cook over low heat for 15 minutes until all water is absorbed.
Add the butter and close the pot lid.
Steam the pilaf for 8 minutes so the grains soften.
Fluff without crushing the grains and serve hot.
Stir once more gently so the butter spreads evenly over the surface.
💡 Tip: Briefly toasting the buckwheat makes its aroma clearer.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with sauteed mushrooms or sour cream.
