Preheat oven to 400
Cook squash: slice the squash in half, lengthwise. Using a grapefruit spoon, scoop out seeds so the flesh is clean. (Save the seeds, they are very yummy when roasted.)
Place squash face down in roasting pan filled with 1/4inch of water in bottom. Cover with foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until squash is cooked, fork tender. :-)
While squash is cooking, prepare kasha. Kasha is the buckwheat grain toasted before cooking. Put buckwheat in a saute pan over low/medium heat and 'toast' until slightly browned or fragrant. In a saucepan, put 1cup of water to every 1/2cup grain. Bring to a boil then cover and simmer 10-15min, until all water is absorbed. (Feel free to use a vegetable broth, or season the water as you wish.)
While squash and kasha are cooking, chop the carrot & mushrooms and mince garlic. Saute in olive oil, over low heat, until heated and fragrant, add spices and saute for 3-5 minutes.
Mix veggies with kasha. Scoop into cooked squash 'bowls' and serve.
