Quinoa Buckwheat Pilaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup quinoa (white or red)
1/2 cup buckwheat groats (raw, or choose pre-roasted to save a step)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 shallot, diced (optional)
1 carrot, diced (optional)
1/2 cup frozen corn (optional)
1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)

Preparation

Wash the quinoa. See recipe #16399 for complete instructions.
Toast the quinoa in a hot dry skillet until slightly browned. Set aside.
Likewise with the buckwheat. Put both in a pot with the boiling water, butter, shallot, and seasonings.
Keep on low heat for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
Five minutes before the end, add vegetables if you wish.
