Method

Measure the ingredients

Set out a saucepan with a lid, then measure the roasted buckwheat groats, water, fine salt, and unsalted butter so everything is ready before you start cooking.

Simmer the kasha

Pour the water into the saucepan, stir in the salt, and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the buckwheat groats, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender.

Let it rest

Take the pan off the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5 minutes. This short rest lets the grains finish steaming and settle into a fluffy porridge.
