How to Prepare Creamy Buckwheat Porridge With Cherry Currant Jam [Vegan]

In a large bowl, place the raw buckwheat groats, cover with water and a squeeze of lemon juice. Soak overnight. In the morning, drain and rinse the buckwheat well.
In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the buckwheat groats and cook until soft, about 10 minutes on medium high heat. Reduce heat to low, add the almond milk, then simmer for another 5-10 minutes. If the buckwheat absorbs all the liquid, add more water until tender.
Transfer to a high-speed blender and puree until creamy. Quickly pour into your bowl, top with heaping serving of the raw jam and top with berries, a sprinkling of hemp seeds and cacao nibs, if desired. Note: When cooked, buckwheat becomes sticky and gelatinous, so you may find this solidifies as it cools. Top it with a little extra almond milk, give it a good stir and enjoy while warm!
For the jam: Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender, puree until smooth. Store in a jar in your fridge until ready to use.
