KASHA VARNISHKES
1 cup kasha (buckwheat groats),
coarse or fine grind
2 cups boiling water
1 cup small bowtie pasta
1 small onion, chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten
butter or oil
1 package tofukan ( marinated
tofu ), optional
Cook pasta in boiling water
according to package
directions; drain and set
aside.
Heat dry non-stick skillet;
add kasha, stirring 2 to 3
minutes, until browned and
fragrant. Add egg, and
stir well. Egg will dry on
kernels, coating them. Add
2 c. boiling water, cover,
reduce heat, and simmer
until the water is absorbed,
3-5 minutes for fine grind
and 10-12 minutes for whole
kernels.
Saute onions in butter or
oil. If you want more protein,
slice tofukan into thin strips
and saute along with
onions.
Mix pasta, kasha, and onions,
heat through, and serve.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
