Writer's picture: brkt-ברקטbrkt-ברקט

Perhaps there is nothing more comforting than this Ashkenazi dish made of buckwheat groats and noodles, that can be found at every Kosher Deli and at the Shabbat dinner table.


BT's Kasha Varneshkes:


Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups (192 grams) kasha (buckwheat groats)

4 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 egg

1/2 pound (225 grams) pasta shells or bowties

4 medium yellow onions

3 cups boiling water for kasha

2 teaspoon salt


Directions:

Heat oven to 350 F. (170 C.)

In an heavy gauge pot add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oil and egg

Mix oil and egg together and add kasha

Turn flame onto medium and sauté groats until they are covered in oil/egg mixture

Add 1 teaspoon (4 grams) salt and boiling water

Cover with lid and immediately place in oven for 20 minutes

While kasha is cooking add remaining oil to frying pan

Peel and chop onions and add to oil

Fry onions until translucent

Sprinkle with salt

Cook pasta until al dente

When kasha is cooked remove from oven and add pasta and onions


Kasha can be eaten immediately or reheated. It also freezes well.


Enjoy! !בתיאבון
