Share recipe
Description
Kasha is actually buckwheat and is a whole grain. It is mixed with onions and egg noodles to make this very simple and traditional Western European side dish. It is a staple at our holiday table and delicious drenched in pot roast or turkey gravy.
Ingredients
- 1 (13.75 ounce) can chicken broth
- ¾ cup kasha (toasted buckwheat groats)
- 1 (12 ounce) package bow tie-shaped egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 onions, diced
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- 1. In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil with the kasha. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
- 2. Bring pot of lightly-salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water.
- 3. Pour the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in the oil until lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir the drained pasta and kasha into the onions, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
