Method

  1. Toast the buckwheat dry in a small pan over medium heat for two minutes, until it smells nutty. Add the broth and salt, cover, and simmer 15 minutes on low.
  2. Off the heat, fold the spinach into the hot grain and leave it covered 5 minutes to wilt; then stir the yogurt through.
  3. Meanwhile, poach the eggs in barely simmering water 3 minutes, until the whites set and the yolks are runny. Set them on the buckwheat with the feta, pumpkin seeds and dill, and finish with oil and pepper.
Chef’s tipToast it first. Untoasted buckwheat tastes of damp cardboard. Two dry minutes in the pan is the difference.
Make it twoDouble straight through; use a wider pan so the grain sits no more than an inch deep or the top stays raw.
