Categories     Dinner     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup uncooked buckwheat
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth for cooking the buckwheat ((or use water))
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion (, thinly sliced)
10 oz baby bella mushrooms (, cleaned and sliced or quartered)
1 cup frozen or fresh peas ((no need to thaw if using frozen))
3 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1 tablespoon truffle-infused olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste

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.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2/3 cup water
1/3 cup coarse kasha (whole roasted buckwheat groats)
1 pound portabella mushrooms, stems discarded
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 1/2 cups fine dry bread crumbs, divided
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Tabasco chipotle sauce, or to taste
8 large oval slices rye bread, cut into 4 1/2-inch rounds if desired, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, then stir in kasha. Cover and reduce heat to low, then cook until kasha is tender and water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool.
  • Break one third of mushrooms into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, then transfer to a bowl. Repeat with remaining 2 batches of mushrooms, transferring to bowl.
  • Cook onion and bell pepper in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chopped mushrooms, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until any liquid mushrooms give off is evaporated and mushrooms begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, then stir in kasha, parsley, soy sauce, and 1/2 cup bread crumbs until combined well. Cool 10 minutes, then stir in egg until combined well.
  • Line a platter with foil. Spread remaining cup bread crumbs in a shallow baking dish.
  • Form one fourth of mushroom mixture (about 3/4 cup) into a 3/4-inch-thick patty (3 1/2 inches in diameter), then dredge in bread crumbs, knocking off excess, and transfer to platter. Form and dredge 3 more patties, transferring to platter. Chill patties, loosely covered with plastic wrap, 1 hour.
  • Heat oil in cleaned 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then fry patties, turning over once, until deep golden, about 4 minutes total. Transfer patties to paper towels to drain (patties will be soft).
  • Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise and chipotle sauce.
  • Spread bread with chipotle mayonnaise and sandwich each mushroom patty between 2 slices.

MUSHROOM AND KASHA STUFFING



Mushroom and Kasha Stuffing image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     side dish

Time 30m

Yield Five cups, enough for 10 pounds of poultry

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole buckwheat groats
1 egg, beaten
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons minced scallions
1 clove garlic, minced
4 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon minced thyme
3 cups finely crumbled stale bread
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

Tips:

  • To make the most flavorful kasha, use a combination of different types of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use water, but the flavor of the kasha will be less intense.
  • Be sure to rinse the kasha thoroughly before cooking to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Toasting the kasha before cooking helps to bring out its nutty flavor.
  • If you want a creamier kasha, add a splash of milk or cream at the end of cooking.
  • Serve kasha with a variety of toppings, such as roasted vegetables, sautéed mushrooms, or a fried egg.

Conclusion:

Kasha is a versatile and delicious grain that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it can be easily customized to your taste. Whether you like it simple or loaded with toppings, kasha is a satisfying and healthy meal.
