Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons schmaltz (rendered chicken fat, or oil, or margarine for a vegetarian dish)
2 large onions (sliced into thin rounds)
4 ounces uncooked bow tie pasta (or more if you like more noodles)
2 cups chicken stock (or salted water for a vegetarian dish)
1 cup kasha (toasted buckwheat groats)
1 large egg (room temperature and beaten lightly)
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Melt schmaltz in a large skillet and add onions. Sauté over medium-low, stirring frequently until onions are turning brown. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions to a bowl and set aside.
  • Cook bowtie pasta in 2 cups chicken stock or salted water until al dente or done to your liking. Drain, reserving liquid, and set aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, mix uncooked kasha with beaten egg, coating well. Warm a medium skillet that has a lid and turn kasha into the pan, patting down flat. Cook, stirring often, until kasha has separated into individual grains.
  • Deglaze the pan you cooked onion in with the reserved hot chicken stock or pasta cooking water by pouring it into the pan with the kasha. Stir, bring to a boil, stir again, reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook until tender, 20 to 40 minutes. Toward the end of cooking, set cover slightly askew to allow any liquid to fully evaporate.
  • In a large saucepan, combine onions, pasta, and kasha, mixing well. Season to taste. Reheat and serve hot as a side dish or main course.

KASHA VARNISHKES



Kasha Varnishkes image

Kasha, toasted hulled buckwheat, is not what you would call versatile. But kasha varnishkes - kasha, noodles (typically bow ties), loads of slow-cooked onions and fat - is an amazing dish, one I used to beg my grandmother and mother to make for me, one that shows kasha in a light that does not shine on it elsewhere, at least in my repertory.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups chopped onions, or more
1/2 cup rendered chicken fat or olive oil
3/4 cup kasha (buckwheat groats)
Salt and ground black pepper
1/2 pound farfalle (bow-tie) or other noodles.

Steps:

  • Put onions in a large skillet with a lid over medium heat. Cover skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, until onion is dry and almost sticking to pan. Add fat or oil, raise heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is nicely browned, at least 10 minutes or so longer.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a separate, medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil, stir in the kasha and about a teaspoon of salt. Cover and simmer until kasha is soft and fluffy, about 15 minutes. Let stand, off heat and covered.
  • Salt the large pot of boiling water and cook noodles until tender but still firm. Drain and combine with the onions and kasha, adding more fat or oil if you like. Season with salt and lots of pepper and serve immediately.

KASHA VARNISHKES AT WOLFF'S IN NEW JERSEY



Kasha Varnishkes at Wolff's in New Jersey image

Packaged bow-tie noodles,large and small, quickly replaced the flat homemade egg noodles in the American version of kasha varnishkes. The trick to a good kasha varnishke is to toast the whole-grain buckwheat groat well over a high heat for 2 to 4 minutes until you start smelling the aroma of the kasha. This will seal the groats so that there is a nutty, crunchy taste to them, a good foil to the soft taste of the noodles.

Yield 6 to 8 servings (M)w/chicken fat/bouillon; (P)w/margarine/water

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large onions, sliced in rounds
2 to 3 tablespoons margarine or chicken fat
1 large egg or egg white, slightly beaten
1 cup medium or coarse kasha
2 cups water or bouillon
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
N/A freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound large or small bow tie-shaped noodles
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Sauté the onions in 2 tablespoons of the margarine or chicken fat in a heavy frying pan with a cover until golden. Remove to a plate.
  • 2. Beat the egg in a small mixing bowl and stir in the kasha. Mix, making sure all the grains are coated. Put the kasha in the same frying pan, set over a high heat. Flatten, stir, and break up the egg-coated kasha with a fork or wooden spoon for 2 to 4 minutes or until the egg has dried on the kasha and the kernels brown and mostly separate.
  • 3. Add the water or bouillon, salt, and pepper to the frying pan and bring to a boil. Add the onions, cover tightly, and cook over low heat, steaming the kasha for 10 minutes. Remove the cover, stir, and quickly check to see if the kernels are tender and the liquid has been absorbed. If not, cover and continue steaming for 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • 4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie noodles according to the directions on the package. Drain.
  • 5. When the kasha is ready, combine with the noodles. Adjust the seasoning, sprinkle with the parsley and coriander. If desired, add a bit more margarine or chicken fat.

KASHA VARNISHKES - JEWISH BUCKWHEAT GROATS WITH NOODLES



Kasha Varnishkes - Jewish Buckwheat Groats With Noodles image

This is my family's recipe for an Eastern European Jewish favorite. This side dish is traditionally made with bowtie noodles. It is flavorful and addictively delicious. Definitely not for the carb-shy! I am gluten-free and sadly, there are no gluten-free bowtie noodles on the market. If you are gluten-free, Hoffner's GF egg noodles or Glutano brand tagliatelle (made of maize) work best. Buckwheat, by the way, is not related to wheat and is gluten-free (and tasty).

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup buckwheat groats
1 egg
1 cup uncooked bow tie pasta (or other short, flat noodle) or 1 cup uncooked gluten-free egg noodles (or other short, flat noodle)
2 cups chicken stock, brought to a boil
1 teaspoon salt
1 quart water
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons corn oil or 3 tablespoons chicken fat
1 1/2 large onions, chopped coarsely

Steps:

  • Beat the egg in a small bowl. Add kasha and stir until every grain is well coated with egg. Place in a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the egg begins to dry and the groats separate. Some of the groats may stick together and/or brown slightly.
  • Pour boiling chicken stock over the kasha. Mix in salt and pepper and stir thoroughly. Cover and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until the kasha has absorbed all liquid. Remove from heat.
  • In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta until done. Drain and set aside.
  • In a skillet, heat the oil (or schmaltz) on a medium flame. Saute the chopped onions until thoroughly browned. Add the onions and noodles to the pot of kasha, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Kasha is a versatile and delicious grain that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a hearty breakfast, a satisfying lunch, or a comforting dinner, kasha is a great option. With its nutty flavor and chewy texture, kasha is sure to please everyone at your table.
