Step 2
2. Place the pot with buckwheat and water over heat. I always use the same proportions: 1:3. Before adding the buckwheat to the pot, rinse it thoroughly. When the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat and add salt to the grain.

3. After boiling, buckwheat should cook for no more than 20 minutes over medium heat. During this time, you need to soak the poppy seeds in boiling water and the raisins in cold water. If you'd like to use prunes and dried apricots, feel free!
