COLD KASHA SALAD



Cold Kasha Salad image

Kasha generally refers to buckwheat groats, but in Slavic countries, kasha refers to porridge in general and can be made from any cereal, especially buckwheat, wheat, barley, oats, millet, and rye. At least a thousand years old, kasha is one of the oldest known dishes in Eastern European Slavic cuisine. Whatever grain you use,

KASHA SALAD WITH HAZELNUTS AND FETA



Kasha Salad with Hazelnuts and Feta image

Kasha is a form of buckwheat that has been toasted. Although "wheat" is in its name, buckwheat is actually gluten-free and more closely related to rhubarb. It's particularly high in vitamins and minerals.

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup kasha
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1/4 cup hazelnuts
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt
1 medium carrot, finely grated
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped
3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix the kasha and egg white together in a small bowl until the kasha is well coated. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kasha mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the grains soften and separate and the egg adheres to the grains and dries out, about 3 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Spread the hazelnuts out on to a baking sheet and bake until golden and toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cool. Rub the skins off the nuts with a kitchen towel, then coarsely chop the nuts.
  • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the kasha, bring back to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until most of the water is absorbed and the kasha is tender, about 15 minutes. Spread the grains out on a baking sheet to cool.
  • Whisk together the vinegar, oil, honey and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the cooled kasha, hazelnuts, carrot, parsley and feta and gently stir to combine. Serve at room temperature.

ENDIVE, APPLE AND KASHA SALAD



Endive, Apple and Kasha Salad image

Nutty, earthy grains of kasha go beautifully with crunchy, juicy apples and bitter endive, long a favorite salad combo. Cut the apple into small dice - 1/4 to 1/2 inch - to maximize this marriage of grain, fruit, nut and bitter salad green. The acid to oil quotient in the dressing is on the low side; I use lemon juice only and sweeten the mix with a little honey. You could also use agave nectar, and leave out the Gruyère in the salad for a vegan version; though I love the Gruyère here because it, too, has a nutty flavor. This salad holds up well on a buffet.

KASHA CALIENTE



Kasha Caliente image

It was a love of kasha and memories of family that inspired Nancy Jane Richer of Knoxville, Tenn., to create this holiday recipe. Ms. Richer's father loved kasha and died on Thanksgiving more than a decade ago. Recently, Ms. Richer spotted wild turkeys in her winter vegetable garden. For her, it felt like a message. "It was a magical omen," Ms. Richer said. The result is this spicy take on kasha, created in memory of Ms. Richer's parents. The dish is robust enough to eat as a vegetarian main course, but also tempting as a side dish for everyone at the table.

Categories     main course, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup kasha
3 eggs, lightly beaten
4 tablespoons butter
2 large sweet onions, chopped
4 large cloves of garlic, chopped
12 ounce package frozen vegetable crumbles, MorningStar Farms brand, or similar
2 large scallions, chopped
16 oz. can of Mexicorn, drained
16 oz. can fire roasted tomatoes, drained
16 oz. can chili hot kidney beans, drained
Juice and zest of 1 lime
1 cup roasted salted pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon roasted dry cumin
1 teaspoon dry cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon dry Italian seasoning
1 cup chile lime garlic tomatillo salsa
2 cups Italian style shredded cheese blend

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Immediately cover and turn off the heat. In a large skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium heat, add kasha and one-third of the beaten eggs. Stir, coating the kasha in the egg, and toasting the grains. Stir constantly, cooking until the egg is no longer visible. Add the just boiled broth and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the liquid has absorbed. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add butter. Once the butter has melted add onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion has softened, then add garlic. Cook garlic for a minute, until fragrant. Add the vegetable crumbles and cook just until hot. Add the scallions, Mexicorn, fire roasted tomatoes, kidney beans, lime, chili powder, cumin seeds and dry cumin, dry cilantro, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, tomatillo salsa and remaining eggs. Fold in the cooked kasha and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Scrape mixture into a lightly oiled 9 x 13 baking dish. Top the mixture with shredded cheese and bake, uncovered, for 40 to 45 minutes, until cheese is golden brown and bubbling. Allow to cool slightly before serving with additional tomatillo salsa.

KASHA WITH SQUASH AND POMEGRANATE



Kasha With Squash and Pomegranate image

This salad works equally well with kasha or freekeh, both of which have a nutty-earthy flavor that serves as a great backdrop for sweet roasted butternut squash and sweet-tart, crunchy pomegranate seeds. Lately I have gotten into the habit of roasting diced butternut squash to keep on hand in the refrigerator for a few days; I usually don't know in advance what I am going to use it for; then one night it finds its way into a salad like this one, the next night into a risotto, and so on until it is time to roast up another one. Four cups diced squash looks like a lot, but it reduces down to about 1 1/2 cups when you roast it, so you will use it up quickly (I use all of it, for example, in this salad).

Categories     salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into small dice (about 1/2 inch), about 4 cups
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
4 cups cooked kasha or freekeh
1/2 cup pecans, lightly toasted
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (more to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or mint, or a combination
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons walnut oil (more to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Place diced squash on parchment, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and salt to taste and toss together until squash is thoroughly coated with oil. Spread out in a single, even layer on the baking sheet. Place in oven and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until squash is nice and tender and the edges are lightly colored (some can be charred). Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, toss together kasha or freekeh, pecans, pomegranate seeds, and chopped fresh herbs.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup whisk together vinegar, pomegranate molasses, allspice and salt to taste. Whisk in remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and walnut oil. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add black pepper if desired.
  • Add squash to grain mixture. Add dressing, toss together and serve.

KASHA VARNISHKES



Kasha Varnishkes image

Kasha, toasted hulled buckwheat, is not what you would call versatile. But kasha varnishkes - kasha, noodles (typically bow ties), loads of slow-cooked onions and fat - is an amazing dish, one I used to beg my grandmother and mother to make for me, one that shows kasha in a light that does not shine on it elsewhere, at least in my repertory.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups chopped onions, or more
1/2 cup rendered chicken fat or olive oil
3/4 cup kasha (buckwheat groats)
Salt and ground black pepper
1/2 pound farfalle (bow-tie) or other noodles.

Steps:

  • Put onions in a large skillet with a lid over medium heat. Cover skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, until onion is dry and almost sticking to pan. Add fat or oil, raise heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is nicely browned, at least 10 minutes or so longer.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a separate, medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil, stir in the kasha and about a teaspoon of salt. Cover and simmer until kasha is soft and fluffy, about 15 minutes. Let stand, off heat and covered.
  • Salt the large pot of boiling water and cook noodles until tender but still firm. Drain and combine with the onions and kasha, adding more fat or oil if you like. Season with salt and lots of pepper and serve immediately.

SPINACH AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH KASHA AND MUSHROOMS



Spinach and Endive Salad With Kasha and Mushrooms image

Kasha is not the main ingredient here, so I wouldn't call this a grain salad, but rather a substantial leafy green salad with grain. I love pairing this nutty grain with both cooked and raw spinach, and with walnuts and walnut oil. Kasha also goes well with foods that have a bitter edge, like endive, so I included some in the salad.

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, washed and spun dry
1 cup cooked kasha
4 to 6 white or cremini mushrooms (to taste and depending on size), sliced thin
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, or a combination of dill, parsley, and chives
2 endives, sliced
1/3 cup broken walnuts
1 ounce crumbled feta (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
freshly ground pepper to taste
Salt to taste
1 small garlic clove, pureed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons walnut oil
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large salad bowl, toss together spinach kasha, mushrooms, fresh herbs, endives, walnuts and feta.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, garlic, walnut oil and olive oil. Toss with the salad and serve.

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.
