Skillet Lazy Buckwheat with Ground Meat

Finely dice the onion and rinse the buckwheat in cold water several times until the water runs clear.

Heat a little vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven and sauté the onion for a couple of minutes until golden.

Add the ground meat to the skillet and cook for about 7–8 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until browned.

Stir the rinsed buckwheat into the meat, toss to combine, and cook together for another 1–2 minutes.

Pour in two cups of hot water (a 1:2 ratio with the buckwheat). Season with salt, pepper, herbs, and spices.

Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for about 15–20 minutes. It is best not to stir too often so the grains don't turn into mush.
