Serving for 1 – multiply as needed
To make the buckwheat . . .
1/3 cup dried roasted buckwheat/kasha
2/3 cup water
2 TB dried cranberries
2 tsp coconut oil
melt oil in small cast iron skillet and toast buckwheat first (stir so it browns but doesn’t burn – about 2 min)
Add in 2/3 cup water (should sizzle with steam), then cranberries and turn heat to med-low and cover to cook 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let sit to finish for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare the mix of sweet parley pesto in your food processor or blender or chop finely by hand:
1 cup of fresh curly parsley
1 medium clove garlic, plus the same amount of fresh ginger
1-2 TB melted coconut or MTC oil or sunflower oil
1 TB sunflower seeds
1+ TB lemon juice
1-2 tsp maple syrup
blend well adding more lemon juice or oil for consistency – in this case, the ‘pesto’ is meant to be coarse, not creamy.
Next scrape the cooked buckwheat in a bowl and toss in the parsley mix and top with 2 tsp toasted and chopped hazelnuts and season with a pinch of pink Himalayan salt.
