Buckwheat Kasha With Mushrooms Food

BUCKWHEAT KASHA WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Bring the kasha and water to a boil in a small pot the the ¼ teaspoon of salt, then turn the heat to low, cover, and cook until the kasha is tender, about 15-20 minutes, then keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in a large pan, cook the onion on medium high heat in the fat until starting to brown and fizzle around the edges, then remove from the pan and reserve (can be done ahead of time). I like my onions with a touch of black on them. Leave some fat behind in the pan.
• Add the mushrooms to the pan with 1/4 cup water and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pan is dry and the mushrooms are wilted and cooked. Add another spoonful of fat if needed.
• Season the mushrooms to taste with salt and pepper, then add ¾ of the onions to the pan, along with the kasha, double check the seasoning, adjust until it tastes good to you.
• Stir in the dill, and serve with the remaining onions spooned on top, along with extra chopped dill and soft butter at the table. It reheats very well.

• Drain, rinse and chop the mushrooms.
• Add the butter, mushrooms and buckwheat. Roast for 2-4 min, until the buckwheat is aromatic.
• Pour in the boiling water, bring to a boil, season with salt, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 30 min, until the buckwheat has cooked through.
• Add the bacon to the kasha when adding the water or stir it in when the kasha is cooked.
• Add a slab of butter to the warm kasha when serving.

BUCKWHEAT KASHA WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS - 20 MINUTE SIDE DISH

Steps:

• Combine uncooked buckwheat and vegetable broth (or water) in a medium pot. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, if the broth is sodium-free. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the buckwheat is tender. Drain off extra liquid if there is still liquid remaining. While the buckwheat is cooking, prepare the rest of the dish.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and add the sliced onion. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the onion starts to soften and turn golden brown. Add the mushrooms, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms start to sweat in the skillet.
• When the mushrooms start releasing juices, add the frozen (or fresh) peas, and sauté for 3 minutes until they are heated through. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
• Add the cooked buckwheat and the chopped parsley to the skillet, and mix well over medium heat to combine all the flavors. Turn off from heat, and drizzle with truffle oil. Taste it to see if you need to add more salt. Serve warm.

KASHA AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat.
• Add the onions and saute, stirring often.
• While the onions are sauting, heat the vegetable broth in a saucepan, to boiling.
• In a bowl, mix together the egg and kasha.
• When the onions have softened, add in the kasha mixture and stir well to combine.
• Stir the kasha mixture for a minute or two, until the kasha kernels are separate and dry.
• When the stock boils, add it to the skillet; cover, and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes or so, until the liquid is absorbed and the kasha is cooked.
• While the kasha is cooking, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in another medium skillet; saute/stir the mushrooms over high heat until the mushrooms release their juices.
• Remove the mushroom skillet from the heat.
• When the kasha is tender, add the mushrooms and 2-3 tablespoons of their liquid.
• Add in the soy sauce, dill, and salt and pepper to taste.

KASHA WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Mix the groats with the egg white in a heavy quart-and-a-half saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir with a fork for two to three minutes, until the grains are separated.
• Add the mushrooms and stock. Bring to a simmer, add the thyme, cover and cook over very low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

MUSHROOM AND KASHA STUFFING

Steps:

• Place the groats in a small, heavy saucepan. Stir in the egg to coat the grains. Cook over medium high heat, stirring, until the groats are dry and separate. Don't worry if some of the egg has coated the pan. Add 1 1/2 cups of stock, bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the groats are just tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. (This proportion of liquid to grain is smaller than recommended on the package. The results are crunchy and separate, but additional moisture is picked up in the process of cooking the stuffing in the poultry and the grains will soften.)
• Heat butter and oil in a large skillet. Add the onion, saute until just beginning to soften, then add the mushrooms. Saute over medium high heat until the mushrooms are beginning to brown. Add the scallions, garlic, parsley and thyme.
• Stir in the cooked kasha and the bread. Moisten with the remaining one-half cup of stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
