1/4 tsp. pepper (1 mL)
1/4 cup butter (50 mL)

Meanwhile, in skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat; cook onion and thyme, covered and stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until onion is softened. Mix into buckwheat.

Place half of the sauerkraut in bottom of 6-cup (1.5 L) casserole; spoon buckwheat mixture over top. Cover with remaining sauerkraut. Drizzle with chicken stock. Bake in 300°F (150°C) oven for about 30 minutes or until heated through, Serve with sour cream.

Comments from olga :

A spinoff of traditional Ukrainian cabbage rolls (buckwheat rolled in cabbage leaves), this shortcut recipe still has its original flavour. Look for buckwheat in supermarkets or delicatessens.
