Change up your risotto game: Switch out arborio rice for toasted buckwheat! Asparagus Buckwheat Risotto on the blog

"Buckwheat. It’s not wheat. It’s not even a grain. Would you believe, it is actually related to rhubarb and sorrel? It is, in fact, a fruit seed and is a suitable substitute for gr…"

DietID_TeamDietitians Ok never knew that buckwheat isn't a grain!! #kitchentips
I also make risotto with Farro... But buckwheat sounds much better! -
JenniferEmilson Farro is awesome as well! @rachna

Simran Sahlep is my favorite hot drink. I've also made chewy ice cream with it a while back!

Ever thought of baking oranges?! No- well, with this recipe you get the most exotic oranges (or try using mandarins) in an exotic syrup that will be perfect over French toast, waffles or even panca...

DietID_TeamDietitians Never thought of this! But I've baked so many other fruits so it makes sense. I'll try it for my next brunch with @akhilg2002!
-
akhilg2002 Yessssss. You know how much French toast. @Rachna let's please do this!
-
gingerandchorizo Haven't done that before neither, must try!!
So I stewed those dry mulberries in some water and orange marmalade (hey, it's all that I could find in my mom's barren pantry!) as well as some spices. They plumped up. Very sweet on their own. Re...

garv So you've gone the sober way!

JenniferEmilson Until I can get back to my own fully stocked kitchen! 😁😉
To get the perfect poached egg, I always crack my egg into a small sieve first. Leftover pasta becomes a 'nest' for my egg this morning
-
wheeler Beautiful stuff. I want this now! I always put mine in a cup before aaaand I recently got rid of spinning the water before putting it in. They seem to teach that everywhere but you can just drop it...

JenniferEmilson I know- why the vortex in the pot?! Not needed. @wheeler

wheeler Ya know I think it's some internet long game joke ha. Kind of like every recipe for Pad Thai having Ketchup as a required ingredient instead of Tamarind :/
Picked up dried mulberries the other day here in Vancouver. What to do with them! I have some ideas, but welcome more suggestions!
-
sugardetoxme I'd love to know what to do with mulberries. Maybe a homemade granola?
-
SimplySeema Love mulberries! I love adding the fresh ones into homemade raw chocolate. It's a delicious sweet surprise. Imagine it would be great mixed in with nuts, cereal or even cookies! What are your ideas...
-
JenniferEmilson I've only ever had them fresh. These have a slight crunch, like figs. I'll either use for granola or porridge topping, or else I'll reconstitute them in safer for baking.
