Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (180 g) raw buckwheat groats
- ¼ cup (40 g) raw almonds (see note 1)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) tahini (see note 2)

- Toppings:
- Fresh fruit, diced

Instructions
- Place the buckwheat groats and almonds into a medium bowl, and add cold water to cover them by about 4 inches (10 cm). Soak on a kitchen counter, partially covered with a lid or plate, for 8 hours, or overnight.
- Rinse the soaked groats and almonds under cold running water, until the water runs out clear. Drain and place them into a food processor bowl fitted with an S-blade. (You can also use a high-speed blender).
- Add the tahini, cinnamon, and strawberries, and process until the mixture resembles a coarse paste. (Add a tablespoon or two water if the consistency of the porridge is too thick).
- Sweeten the porridge if you like and top with your favorite topping.
- The buckwheat porridge will last, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
