Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water and drain, then toast them in a dry saucepan over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until they smell nutty and fragrant.
- 2
In a separate skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and saute the finely chopped onion over medium heat for 5 minutes until soft and lightly golden.
- 3
Pour the 2 cups of water and 1 tsp salt into the saucepan with the toasted groats, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover.

Simmer undisturbed for 15 to 18 minutes until the water is fully absorbed and the grains are tender but still distinct, then remove from heat.

Stir in the sauteed onion and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, fluff with a fork, cover, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving so the flavors meld.
