Kashi Porridge

I grew up in the 70’s with a hippy mom who went through great lengths to get me to eat healthy food (thanks Mom!) and I have a tortured childhood memory of staring at the pile of cooked buckwheat on my plate and wondering how I was ever going to survive… so I was really surprised at how delicious and deeply satisfying this breakfast cereal is, made entirely of buckwheat and raw sunflower seeds! You have to try it!

Serves 4

• 1 c raw buckwheat groats
• 1/2 c raw sunflower seeds
• 1 t salt
• 4 1/2 c water (or soy, or hempmilk, or apple cider!)

Blend buckwheat and sunflower seeds in a hi speed blender to a fine meal, with a little texture to it still.

Dry roast in a heavy bottomed pot, (large enough for porridge) for 4 -5 minutes, stirring contstantly, just to get a nice toasty flavor.

Add salt and water, whisking constantly (be careful when you first add the water the the hot pan – it will steam up).

Let cook 4 -5 minutes, or until buckwheat is soft and cooked through.
