Method
- 1
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the rinsed raw buckwheat groats to the dry pan and toast, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes until fragrant and lightly deepened in color.
- 2
Pour in the water and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer gently for 12 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.
- 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat, leave the lid on, and let the buckwheat steam undisturbed for 3 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- 4
While the buckwheat cooks, heat the extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling, about 1 minute.
- 5
Add the torn lion's mane mushrooms in an even layer. Cook undisturbed for 4 minutes until deeply browned on the bottom, then toss and sauté for another 3 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- 6
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, minced garlic, dried thyme, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until the garlic is soft and fragrant without browning.
- 7
Remove the skillet from the heat, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the pan.
- 8
Divide the warm, fluffy buckwheat groats among four wide bowls. Spoon the garlic-sautéed mushrooms over the top, crumble over the soft goat cheese so it gently softens against the heat, and finish with a scattering of peppery radish microgreens.
Cooked buckwheat groats keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat with a splash of water before topping with freshly sautéed mushrooms and cheese.
