I like to diversify which grains are in my diet and how I prepare them. (Think outside kasha varnishkes!) I know I may be a minority, but I really like kasha! Kasha or buckwheat is a nutrient-dense food whose texture is between barley and brown rice. It has a nutty flavor and is available in whole, medium, or fine granulation. It is rich in iron and contains almost all the B vitamins and phosphorus. It can be eaten as a side dish or as a breakfast cereal. I created this recipe as a light, wholesome, healthful supper.
