  1. BEGIN THE Buckwheat

    Place the Buckwheat in a pot over medium heat. Toast until fragrant, 1-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. CHARRED Corn

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a light drizzle of oil. Fry the Corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

    When the Buckwheat is done, toss through the mint, the charred corn, the feta, the peppers, and seasoning. Set aside.

  5. O-YUM Ostrich
