Ingredients
1/2 cup of Grechka buckwheat
1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
1/2 tablespoon of agave syrup
Fresh pears
3-5 cardamom pods
2 cinnamon sticks
A pinch of nutmeg
2 tablespoons of brandy or whiskey
Your favorite yogurt
Granola or nuts for garnish
Instructions
1. Preparing the Pears
Begin by preparing the star of our dish, the pears:
Peel the pears to reveal their succulent flesh.
Next, in a small saucepan, create a flavorful infusion:
Add water, cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, a pinch of nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of brandy or whiskey.
Place the peeled pears into the saucepan, allowing them to absorb the aromatic flavors.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the pears gently cook for approximately 2 hours on low heat, infusing them with the delightful essence of the spices.
Once cooked, allow the pears to cool down to room temperature, or for a more refreshing experience, refrigerate them for a few hours.
2. Preparing the Buckwheat
While the pears are cooling, let's prepare our chocolatey Grechka buckwheat:
Let the cooked buckwheat cool down as well.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled buckwheat with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and 1/2 tablespoon of agave syrup. Mix well to evenly coat the buckwheat with the cocoa goodness.
3. Assembling the Dish
Now, it's time to create a visually stunning and flavor-packed dessert:
Start by layering your favorite yogurt on a plate, creating a creamy base for your dish.
Add the prepared chocolate buckwheat on top of the yogurt, forming a delectable layer.
Place one of the beautifully spiced pears on the buckwheat bed, making it the crowning jewel of your creation.
To add a delightful crunch and extra flavor, garnish the dish with a generous sprinkling of granola or your choice of nuts.
There you have it - a sumptuous and satisfying breakfast or dessert that combines the wholesome goodness of buckwheat with the sweet allure of pears and the decadence of chocolate.
