Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large saucepan, toast kasha over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until it darkens and starts to smell nutty, about 2 to 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add oil, heat for a few seconds, then add onion and sauté about 3 minutes, stirring. Pour in broth or water, add salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Cover pot, turn heat to low, and cook until kasha is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

I should have made kasha the traditional way, swirling an egg to separate the grains. This was okay but not as light.
