Directions:

  • In a deep pot or skillet, sauté the onions in olive oil until they caramelize. Once the onions are brown, add the garlic and cook for about a minute.
  • Deglaze the pan with the wine or juice to stir in the flavor that has collected at the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the Organic Grains Buckwheat and vegetable broth to the pan, cooking over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until thick.
  • Ready your lemon zest and fresh dill.
    After the mixture has thickened, stir in the cream cheese until it has fully melted.
  • Once the heat is off, stir in cheese, butter, or additional cream cheese if desired.
  • Serve with field greens, bread, and a drizzle of balsamic. Enjoy!
