Kasha

Made Pilaf tonight for the first time using Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain Kasha (Roasted Buckwheat Kernels). Slightly modified the label recipe - sauté scallions and mushrooms in butter then add 2c water and bring to a boil. While bringing liquid to a boil, mix 1 egg and 1c Kasha in a bowl then stir fry this egg mixture over high heat for about 2 minutes (until the grain separates). At this point, remove the stir fry pan from the heat, add boiling liquid (be ready for a big reaction!), stir, cover, and return to stove on low heat. I added washed, deveined, and chopped dino kale to the mixture and steamed for 10 minutes until liquid gone.

Easy to prepare and with the egg, a good dose of protein in this meal; however, not as flavorful as I'd anticipated. It didn't say to but I wondered whether to rinse the Kasha before using. Pine nuts and garlic would good additions.
