Buckwheat Kasha with Mushrooms and Onions - 20 Minute Side Dish image

Buckwheat Kasha with Sauteed Mushrooms, Onions, and Peas, drizzled with truffle oil for a touch of decadence. This naturally gluten-free side dish is ready in 20 minutes, and it is super healthy thanks to the nutrients in the buckwheat groats.

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.

HOW TO COOK BUCKWHEAT KASHA



How to Cook Buckwheat Kasha image

Buckwheat is a superfood that you may not know about. It's definitely under-appreciated and under-utilized in the US, but everyone should know how healthy and scrumptious it is! It's also completely gluten free! It's name is a little deceiving because it's called buckwheat but there is no relation to wheat - none whatsoever! It's also just as simple to make as white rice. My son loves buckwheat with gravy on it and I love it plain with butter (pickle on the side ofcourse).

Time 23m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup toasted buckwheat groats
1 3/4 cups filtered water
1-2 Tbsp unsalted butter (to taste (I used unsalted butter))
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste (I used sea salt))

Steps:

  • Rinse and drain buckwheat well.
  • In a medium sauce pan, combine buckwheat with 1 3/4 cups water, 1 Tbsp butter and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer then cover with a tight fitting lid and simmer on low for 18-20 min. Just like with rice, you should hear hissing while cooking and it will get quiet when done. Stir in additional 1 Tbsp butter if desired.
  • Transfer all ingredients to the rice cooker and set on the white rice setting. When done, add an extra Tbsp of butter if desired and stir in 1-2 tsp water to moisten up the kernels if they seem dry. Serve hot.

KASHA



Kasha image

For years I have had uneven results with buckwheat groats, or kasha, as the dry-roasted grains are called. I have tried different methods, both stovetop and oven, and usually mixed the grains with an egg before cooking. Sometimes my grains cooked up to a mush, other times they held their shape but still seemed rather soft and indistinct. I sort of gave up on kasha for a while, opting for more predictable grains and pseudo-grains like quinoa and spelt. But I love the flavor of buckwheat, so this week I took another stab at buckwheat groats with a box of medium-grain kasha I bought at the supermarket - and everything changed. These grains were cracked, like bulgur, something I hadn't seen before. I followed the directions on the box, and they turned out perfect -- dry and fluffy, with the wonderful nutty/earthy buckwheat flavor I find so appealing. To see if it was the cut of the grain only or the combination of the cut of the grain and the cooking method that gave me such good results, I used the exact same cooking method using whole toasted buckwheat groats. The whole groats turned out better than any I had made before, but they took three times as long to cook than the cracked groats, yielded a little less, and because all of the egg is not absorbed by the whole grains the way it is by the cracked grains, which have more cut surfaces to absorb the egg, you get some egg flakes floating on the top of the cooked kasha, which is not very attractive (though it's easy to remove them).

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups water
Salt to taste (I used 3/4 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup toasted buckwheat groats (kasha), preferably medium-cut (cracked)
1 egg

Steps:

  • Combine water, salt, and butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once it reaches the boil turn off heat and cover.
  • Meanwhile, beat egg in a medium bowl and add kasha. Mix together until grains are thoroughly and evenly coated.
  • Transfer to a medium-size, wide, heavy saucepan (I use Analon nonstick), place over high heat and stir egg-coated kasha constantly until grains are dry, smell toasty, and no egg is visible, 2 to 3 minutes. Add just-boiled water, turn heat to very low, cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes for cracked kasha, 30 minutes for whole kasha, or until all of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
  • Remove lid from pan, place clean dish towel over pan (not touching the grains), and cover tightly. Let sit undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes. Fluff and serve.

From mealprepify.com
  • Fruit and Cinnamon Buckwheat. If you like porridge, then you’ll love cinnamon buckwheat kasha. This macro-friendly meal is vegan and gluten-free. A wonderful way to start your day as it is packed with fruits and a spoonful of tasty cinnamon.
  • Buckwheat Pancakes. Would you have guessed that you can make pancakes from buckwheat? This is great news if you love them for breakfast but are gluten intolerant.
  • Buckwheat and Millet Bread. If you want to change things up a little bit, try buckwheat bread. This is one of those buckwheat recipes which are gluten-free.
  • Russian Porridge. Did you know that buckwheat is the main grain in many Russian cuisines? No wonder they are the masters of cooking with buckwheat. After preparing the base recipe you can add milk and butter for a warm and filling morning meal.
  • Beef’d Up Buckwheat Kasha. Eating buckwheat does not have to be boring. While many recipes feel fairly similar this one is very convincing due to its high protein content and nutty taste.
  • Healthy Buckwheat Salad. Although the author of this recipe states that it is good for breakfast, I’d probably eat it for dinner. High in protein and full of crunchy vegetables.
  • Seeded Buckwheat Cookies. This dough can be made 5 days ahead of time, and a trick is to roll it between parchment paper so it won’t stick to your rolling pin.
  • Cauliflower Cashew Buckwheat Soup. This recipe features buckwheat mostly as a garnish, but the end results are nonetheless mouthwatering. I love cashew nuts, and I have never considered the idea that I could cook them in a soup.
  • Broccoli Buckwheat Salad. Adding feta cheese to this recipe is optional, just leave it out if you are vegan. The main ingredient is broccoli and the dried tomatoes ensure that the dish keeps very well in the fridge – up to four days according to the author.
  • Buckwheat with Mushrooms. I have to admit, the cover photo of this recipe looks absolutely stunning. Use the green onions as a garnish if you want to recreate it, as it balances out the brown color of the mushrooms and the buckwheat.
