Buckwheat with Vegetables (Gluten Free)

Buckwheat is considered an ancient grain as it has been cultivated for over 8000 years.
As it is not technically a grain, but a seed, buckwheat is naturally gluten free. It can be processed into flour or noodles and that makes it a great choice for people suffering of celiac disease.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cup buckwheat groats
2 tablespoons olive/avocado oil
1 cup onions
1 cup carrots
1 cup red bell pepper
2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoon tomato souse
fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Cut the pepper and carrot into thin strips.
Heat the oil in a deeper pan. Cook the onion and pepper for about 2 minutes. Add the carrot, tomato sauce and garlic. Stir well and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until slightly softer. Add Buckwheat, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Cover, turn the heat down to medium low and cook the vegetables and Buckwheat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until done to your liking.
