Cooking buckwheat is not difficult even for those who hardly spend time in the kitchen. You need to know only basic information - the ratio of water to cereals. The rest depends only on taste preferences. You can add various spices to buckwheat, mix it with onions or carrots. And to make the cereal even more tasty, then you can use meat in the preparation. Most often, chicken breast is used, since both it and buckwheat are considered dietary products.
But you can diversify the dish with offal, for example hearts. Porridge will acquire a special taste, which cannot be obtained using breasts. It will become even more satisfying and tasty when added to the hearts of mushrooms.
