To make the buckwheat, wash the grains and add them to a pot with 2 cups of water and about 3 tablespoons of salt. Start cooking on medium-high heat and bring water to a boil. Meanwhile, clean your mushrooms by washing them off with a soapy cloth or brush, then slicing them into quarters. Add sliced mushrooms to the boiling pan with the buckwheat and cook for about 10 minutes until they have released their liquid and reduced in size.
