Where Russian people live, and "cabbage soup and porridge-our food". Here (in Greece) we often cook in the oven, use a lot of vegetables, tomatoes-almost not valid ingredient in any food, since food is preferred red... So I suggest the Greek way of cooking buckwheat. By the way, is Greek for-buckwheat-ZIA. As ZIAS is Zeus... the grain was known since ancient times, been valued highly, was considered to be grains of Zeus... Now unfairly forgotten, it can be found (thank God! what I can find) only in Russian stores and nozaut her "black seize", so the Greeks understandable)))
