Preparing the main ingredients
Any recipe begins with preparing the ingredients. The main ingredients of this dish are buckwheat and mushrooms, and both require careful preparation before cooking. Of course, the basic preparation will be described step by step in the recipes themselves. However, there are still a few points that should also be noted. Therefore, in the next block of the article, we will look at how to prepare champignons and buckwheat for cooking in as much detail as possible, so that you do not have any questions about this (and if there are still points that you would like to clarify, then this can always be done in the comments under the article) . Now let's learn how to prepare the main ingredients of a dish before cooking it in a pan.
Buckwheat
In fact, buckwheat requires little preparation, which many often neglect. The fact is that you need to sort through the buckwheat to find and throw away the spoiled grains. After this, the buckwheat must be thoroughly rinsed under running water several times (until the liquid remains clean). Most home cooks prefer to only rinse the buckwheat and almost never sort it out. In this case, the choice is yours. After washing the buckwheat, it must be lightly fried in a frying pan to make the side dish crumbly, more tasty and tender, but this will be described in detail in the step-by-step cooking recipes.
Champignon
Mushrooms require more careful and lengthy preparation. First, you need to either collect champignons in the forest or buy them in a store. This article explains how to choose store-bought mushrooms and avoid stumbling upon false champignons in the forest. After this, the mushrooms must be washed and peeled before frying, and this must be done correctly. In order not to write a huge amount of information here, I recommend going to the article “Processing champignons before cooking” and reading it. It describes in detail how to peel mushrooms, how to wash them, and also discusses several useful life hacks.
After cleaning the champignons, you can start preparing the dish. It is important to note that it is advisable to peel the mushrooms on the same day you prepare the dish. If you are using frozen champignons rather than fresh, then you need to take these mushrooms out of the freezer a few hours before you start cooking and put them on a plate. In 5-6 hours, the mushrooms will thaw naturally. It is not recommended to defrost in a microwave oven, as meat and mushrooms lose their taste under the influence of waves. Now let's look at a step-by-step recipe for cooking buckwheat with champignons in a frying pan.

Preliminary preparation
If you use fresh mushrooms, then before using them for preparing various dishes, the forest gifts need to be prepared for further culinary processing.
- The collected fruiting bodies must be carefully sorted, cleaned of dirt and forest debris, and wormy or rotten specimens removed. If the damage is minor in volume, you can carefully remove it with a knife. You also need to cut off the very bottom parts of the legs.
- Rinse the fruiting bodies under running water and then cut into equal-sized pieces.
These rules are used for species from the unconditionally edible group. If you want to use conditionally edible mushrooms, then read the rules of pre-treatment for each specific type, since they are different for different types of mushrooms in this group. As a rule, they need to be further soaked and boiled before use.
If you use frozen forest products, they must first be thawed; if dried, they must first be soaked for 6 hours in clean water.
