Kasha and Mushrooms

My vegetarian friend introduced me to this dish. Full of nutrients and I think it is delicious. Adapted from Moosewood.

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons  vegetable oil, divided
• 1  onion, chopped
• 2  cups vegetable broth
• 1  large egg, beaten

2. Add the onions and saute, stirring often.
3. While the onions are sauting, heat the vegetable broth in a saucepan, to boiling.
4. In a bowl, mix together the egg and kasha.
5. When the onions have softened, add in the kasha mixture and stir well to combine.
6. Stir the kasha mixture for a minute or two, until the kasha kernels are separate and dry.
7. When the stock boils, add it to the skillet; cover, and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes or so, until the liquid is absorbed and the kasha is cooked.
8. While the kasha is cooking, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in another medium skillet; saute/stir the mushrooms over high heat until the mushrooms release their juices.
9. Remove the mushroom skillet from the heat.
