Ingredients

Instructions

Ingredients

1 cup Wild Groats (buckwheat groats)
1 cup pineapple, cut into small chunks
½ cup cashews

Veggies

1 small onion, chopped
2 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, diced
½ bell pepper, thinly diced
2 green onion tops, chopped into rings
1 ½ cup kale, chopped (optional)
Fresh cilantro (optional garnish)

Sauce / Seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil (or coconut or avocado oil)
1 tablespoon gluten-free tamari (or coconut aminos)
1 tablespoon curry powder
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

In a separate pot, boil 1¾ cups of water
Add 1 cup of rinsed buckwheat groats to boiling water
Cook for roughly 8-10 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed. Then remove from heat, cover and let rest another 5-10 minutes.
While buckwheat is cooking, chop and dice your desired vegetables (carrots, bell pepper, onion, garlic, kale, etc.)
Chop pineapple into small pieces if using a whole pineapple to 1 cup worth (or more or less to your liking!).
In a large frying pan, on medium to low heat, heat the oil and sauté the onion for about 3 minutes until the onion appears more translucent.
Then add the garlic, carrots, and bell pepper. Cook for 3 minutes.
Next, add the cooked Wild Groats, curry powder, and the tamari sauce (or tamari alternative). Stir well to evenly distribute the seasoning and sauce.
Add the pineapple, green onion, and cashews to the pan. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir until well combined. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve with freshly chopped cilantro (optional garnish).
