Green Beans With Buckwheat And Cheese Recipe

Ingredient Preparation

1. Rinse the buckwheat under cold water and drain. 2. Trim and wash the green beans. 3. Grate the cheese of your choice (Cheddar or Parmesan works well).

Cooking Buckwheat

1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. 2. Add the buckwheat and a pinch of salt. 3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the buckwheat is tender and the water is absorbed. 4. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Cooking Green Beans

1. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the green beans for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. 2. Drain and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking, then drain again.

Combining Ingredients

1. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. 2. Add the cooked buckwheat and green beans, stirring gently to combine. 3. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the mixture. 4. Cook until the cheese is just melted and everything is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Serving

1. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 2. Serve warm as a main dish or side.
