Ingredients

  • 2 cups buckwheat groats
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water, then drain.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
  4. Stir in the julienned carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and diced zucchini. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
