Quail broth. Hahaha. Just what everyone has around the house.
I have been wondering what to do with a large bag of buckwheat that has been sitting in my cabinet for so long that I don't remember why I bought it. This is the answer. Easy and delicious. I served this with brisket. It could go with any with any roasted meat or vegetable
Absolutely delicious
I used water instead of broth, added a little garlic and some thyme. Also added spinach to the slow simmer in the last 5 minutes. Yum
