Buckwheat groats are a very healthy grain to eat.
Although we use the word 'wheat' in buckwheat the grain itself is actually a fruit seed related to the rhubarb family and contains no wheat or gluten. See the link here to read my health benefits of eating buckwheat page.
My spicy lamb and buckwheat recipe is a real wholesome dish and quite versatile. You can eat it as a lamb and buckwheat curry dipping in bread or other accompaniments. Also you can drain off the curry gravy and serve my lamb and buckwheat with a salad. It can be drained and eaten in a bowl as it is or even served with plain rice.
This lamb and buckwheat recipe is a one pot meal recipe that takes only 8 minutes to cook in a pressure cooker.
This recipe is very delicious and there is plenty to share if you eat it with some nice side dishes.

This look delicious! I just bought some buckwheat and didn't know what to do with it as I have never used it before... I guess now I know! I will let you know how it goes!
This looks great! I love cooking grains with other ingredients so that they pick up the flavors.
What a great post Jeena. I have never used buckwheat, but now really want to thanks to your great looking meal!

I was searching madly for buckwheat just this weekend. This looks delicious as always. Do you know if you can grind the groats to make buckwheat flour?

Hi Maryann, yes it went great with the salad too thanks. :-)
Prudy, I have never made my own buckwheat flour using my grinder because I normally buy it from the shops. You could put a few into the grinder to see how fine it will grind maybe? Health food or Polish shops usually sell buckwheat flour. :-)
Great comfort food!
woo..lamb curry looks fabulous..a small treat for u in my blog..collect it soon :)
Hi jeena,
I tried the recipe last night, and It’s was very tasty.
I used "barley" instead of "Buckwheat"because I don't have Buckwheat but next time I'll try it with Buckwheat.
We have similar recipes in Arabic Gulf Cuisine using different grains,I'll try to post some of my recipes soon.
Thank you for sharing the recipe.

Tip for anyone looking for cheap buckwheat groats.. If there are any Russian immigrants living in your city, find out where they shop. Buckwheat groats are a Russian staple, we eat them a lot! My Russian deli sells them for about $4 per kilo.
