- 6
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 3 onions, diced
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 cups fine grain dried kasha (buckwheat)
- 1 large egg, beaten

- 2 cups small bow tie pasta
directions
- Fry the onion in oil and set aside.
- Pour kasha into a hot pan and toast for about one minute while stirring.
- Add beaten egg to kasha and continue stirring and seperating grains (don't worry if a few lumps appear, they will break up afterwards anyway) Lower fire to medium and add half the chicken stock- it will cook down quickly so keep an eye on it Once most of that liquid is gone, reduce the fire to low and add onions and remaining liquid.

- Once the liquid is cooked out, add the cooked pasta and serve hot.

I'm just finishing off the last of the leftovers, and this is just as delicious reheated on Thursday afternoon as it was on Friday night. I'm a big fan of kasha varnishkes, my mother used to make them all the time, and this recipe is very authentic, except my mother always used schmaltz, and that's what I did as well. My kids were bigger fans of the varnishkes than they were of the kasha, but I did notice that they ate everything, didn't leave a grain behind. With a little schmaltz and some gribenes on top, this is heavenly!

Hi Miraklegirl, I made your Kasha and Bows for my Friday night dinner along with my brisket...what a hit, everyone just loved the kasha, there was nothing left, next time, I think I will double the recipe.... it brought back so many memories of my mothers, she made it all the time....I used 3 x-large onions, and I did not have any bows, so I used medium size shells instead....otherwise, didn't change a thing, great recipe Miraklegirl, sure brought back a lot of wonderful memories for me thanks for posting, I will be making this again, it is a winner :-)
