Found a great recipe for Kasha (buckwheat groats) on Whole Food’s recipe App. BTW, although I’m not a big App fan, this App is helpful to find recipes based on typing in 1 or more items you want to cook with; I just typed in Kasha and this and several other recipes came up. Sometimes I just search the recipes to give me ideas about what spices and other ingredients might go well with a particular item and then make up my own recipe.
With 1c green lentils, kasha, and feta cheese, this is a protein-rich vegetarian entree. Other ingredients include:
- 3tbs olive oil
- 1 bay leaf (cooked with lentils)
- 1 sliced shallot
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1/3c chopped pitted Kalamata olives
- 3tbs chopped oregano
- 1 chopped tomato
- 2 sliced green onions
- 2tbs chopped flat parsley
- sea salt and pepper
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
The lentils require the most time but after they cool and drain, putting together this dish only took about 15 minutes; the kasha cooks quickly. Serve at room temperature or chilled; I prefer the former but chilling is nice for those hot summer days. This dish would really benefit from fresh, home-grown tomatoes:)
