Buckwheat with mushrooms is a dish that you can afford even if you are fasting. In addition, it is very important to note that it is buckwheat that contains a large amount of protein, iron, essential vitamins and amino acids, which are useful for the human body, especially during fasting. So, do not refuse the opportunity to please yourself and loved ones with a simple, tasty and healthy dish. Women’s magazine Charla brings to your attention three recipes that will help you prepare culinary masterpieces in minutes!

Buckwheat with mushrooms in a pot
To prepare buckwheat with mushrooms in a pot, you will need:

– 500 grams of champignons;

– 500-700 grams of buckwheat;

– 2 onions;

– 2 carrots;

– 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil;

– vegetable broth;

– salt and pepper.

Mushrooms need to be cleaned, cut and fried in a pan in vegetable oil. After 5 minutes, add carrots and onions. Fry the food until cooked (that is, until golden brown). At this time, buckwheat should be calcined in a dry frying pan so that after cooking it is crumbly. Now spread the mushrooms, vegetables and buckwheat in pots. Women’s site Charla recommends 5-8 tablespoons of grits depending on the size of the pot. Pour the products with broth about 1.5 centimeters above the buckwheat, add salt, pepper, and then mix everything. We send buckwheat with mushrooms in a pot to the oven, heated to 200 degrees, and cook for 20 minutes with closed lids (you can use foil), and then another 10 minutes without lids.
Buckwheat stewed with mushrooms
To prepare this version of buckwheat with mushrooms, you will need:

– 1 glass of buckwheat;

– 300 grams of mushrooms;

– 2 onions;

– vegetable oil;

– salt and pepper.

The onion must be cut into half rings, and the garlic must be chopped in any convenient way. We also cut the mushrooms. Fry the onion and garlic in a pan in vegetable oil until golden brown, then add the mushrooms and fry the food for another 5-7 minutes. After that, put the buckwheat in the pan and pour 2 cups of hot water there. Salt and pepper the dish if necessary. Now it remains to cover the pan with a lid and simmer the food until cooked. After 15-20 minutes, buckwheat mushrooms can be served on the table.

By the way, you can always cook buckwheat with mushrooms in tomato sauce by adding tomato paste – this option absolutely does not contradict the rules of fasting.

Buckwheat with mushrooms and nuts
To make up for the deficiency of proteins and fats, which is caused by the restriction of the use of animal products, you can cook buckwheat with mushrooms and nuts. You will need:

– 1 glass of buckwheat;

– 10-15 champignons;

– 1 onion;

– a handful of nuts (walnuts, pine nuts, almonds, cashews, etc.).

Boil buckwheat in salted water, chop the onion and mushrooms, chop the nuts in a blender. Fry the onion and mushrooms in vegetable oil (you can add tomato paste). Put buckwheat, mushrooms with onions on plates and sprinkle the dish with nuts. Ready!

We hope that these recipes will help you diversify your diet during Lent!
