About Buckwheat Porridge (Griķu Putra)

Vera Slesare’s buckwheat porridge with mushrooms and onions appears in the Krāslava Russian-cooking section of the Latgale traditional-recipe collection. The book attributes this version to her family cookbook, giving the dish a specific regional setting in Latvia.

Dried mushrooms flavour the water in which the buckwheat cooks. Salt seasons the grains, with butter-fried onions adding a richer savoury finish.

The porridge thickens before resting covered, then the onions are mixed through. Buckwheat, mushrooms and onion remain its central elements, without a separate milk-based topping in this recipe.
