Ingredients
- ¼ cup dried porcini mushrooms (see Note)
- 60 g butter
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 200 g kasha (buckwheat grains) (see Note)

Soaking time 30 minutes

Instructions
Place porcini in a large bowl. Cover with 750 ml warm water and stand for 30 minutes.
Melt half the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until golden. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add kasha and porcini with soaking liquid and bring to the boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes or until liquid has completely absorbed. Remove from heat and stand covered for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt remaining 30g butter in a pan over medium heat. Add all remaining mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until just browned. Stir in kasha mixture and trout, season, then fold in chervil. Serve.
