Wash the buckwheat and cover with cold water in a ratio of 1:2, bring to a boil and cook over medium heat without a lid or over low heat with a lid for 20 minutes until all the water is absorbed by the groats. Once cooked, add butter or season the groats with olive oil.

Just wash the buckwheat, put it in a baking dish, add water or broth, add spices and cook for 30 minutes at 180 C.
