Stuffed Eggplants with Buckwheat and Mushrooms

Buckwheat is very popular in Russia, we call it miracle food! Russians ate it constantly through the war, revolutions and other catastrophes. It's nutritious and it's a good source of magnesium. We boil it in a water and eat as a side dish like rice or potatoes. Buckwheat can lower risk of developing high cholesterol and high blood pressure. 1 cup of buckwheat contains the following nutrients: 34% manganese, 28% copper, 21% magnesium, 18% fiber, 17% phosphorus. Source: HERE. This mineral scored highest on the ability to satisfy hunger. Some researches has been done in the past and 36,000 women (who were suffering from diabetes) have been tested on buckwheat consumption. Those who ate buckwheat 3 times a day had a 21 percent lower risk of diabetes compared to those who ate one serving per week.

So, I cook dishes with buckwheat at least once a week and the one I offer here is optional. The simplest version of cooking it the same way you cook rice. But buckwheat and mushrooms is the best combination!
