Had kasha or soba? You've tasted buckwheat. The flour has an earthy, mineral flavor that pairs especially well with tart fruits, like these cherries.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 10-ounce bags frozen sweet cherries, thawed
1 24-ounce jar pitted sour cherries in light syrup, drained
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 cup unsalted, roasted sunflower seeds
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons flaxseeds
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces, or virgin coconut oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss cherries, sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch in a large bowl; transfer to a shallow 1.5-quart baking dish.
  • Combine sunflower seeds, buckwheat flour, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, cornstarch, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work butter into seed mixture until it comes together. Break up into small clumps and scatter over fruit; sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over.
  • Bake crumble until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling and syrupy, 65-75 minutes.
  • DO AHEAD: Unbaked topping can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
