Buckwheat and Broccoli

It has been a really long time since I've posted a new recipe so I've decided it's time to start posting again. I just put together the strangest bunch of ingredients and somehow it tastes really good. I've had to cook for myself for the past months so I've learned to make something out of whatever I have in the cubard at the moment. Today I realized that I had a lot of mustard in the fridge so I was looking for something to put it on. I also had some broccoli that I bough last week that needed to be cooked. So I cooked up some buckwheat hulls in water with a bit of parsley flakes. Then I sauteed the broccoli in some butter and Fre (alcohol free brand) White Zinfandel wine, paprika, and celery salt (feel free to use whatever spices you have and like). Then I put the broccoli in a bowl with the buckwheat some rice cheese and put some dijon mustard on top. I mixed it up and took my first bite feeling quite unsure of how this concoction would turn out but it is really quite tasty I must say. So if that sounds appetizing to you go ahead and try it. I hope you enjoy my creation as much as I did.


Ingredients:

Broccoli (I used a handfull of broccollette which makes about two servings)
Buckwheat (you could also use brown rice because it has a slightly more nutty flavor than white rice)
Rice Cheese
Dijon Mustard
Which ever spices you have and like :)
