Mushroom Kuba

Rinse the groats well under cold running water in a colander, pour into a pot, cover with water so that it is about two centimeters above them, and let stand for about an hour.

Then drain, cover with fresh water, salt with a teaspoon of salt, bring to a very gentle boil and cook uncovered until almost tender, which takes about 30 minutes. If desired, add a tablespoon of butter to the groat cooking water. You can also let the groats stand on a low burner longer to swell even more. It will take about an hour in total for the groats to absorb almost all the cooking water.

At the same time as soaking the groats, pour just under a liter of water over the mushrooms, bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let them cool and soften slowly. If you want the mushrooms to be softer, soak them in cold water the day before instead of boiling them as mentioned.
