Meet buckwheat porridge, Russians’ favorite comfort food!
While the whole rest of the world is only discovering buckwheat as a superfood, Russians have been obsessed with it for generations!
Actually, ‘grechka’ (‘гречка’) has been on peasant tables since at least the 12th century. And not by accident. Its slow-releasing carbs give a lot of energy for a long period of time.
It's also incredibly easy to prepare and it tastes wonderful! As a side dish, as a main course or for breakfast. It can serve any of your nutrition needs.
In the morning, just add milk and sugar and feel as if you are in a Russian kindergarten!
For lunch, add canned meat to some boiled ‘grechka’ and you'll be eating the most iconic food Soviet soldiers ate during World War II.
And one of the most popular recipes includes fried onions and mushrooms. A must-try dish every Russian living abroad usually pines for!
