  • Ready In
    1. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until onion is almost clear but not browning, about 5 minutes. Add buckwheat; stir until coated, about 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a boil. Simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes.
    2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    3. Remove tops and seeds from peppers. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add peppers, cover, and steam until tender, about 5 minutes.
    4. Stand peppers up in a casserole dish and fill them with the buckwheat mixture.
    5. Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

    Footnotes

    • Cook’s Notes:
    • Cilantro can be substituted for the parsley.
    • If your bell peppers are small-to-medium, use 6 to 7.
    • Add chopped portobello mushrooms, turnips, carrots, other vegetables, and even nuts, as desired, to the buckwheat mix.
