KASHA VARNISHKES - JEWISH BUCKWHEAT GROATS WITH NOODLES ...



Kasha Varnishkes - Jewish Buckwheat Groats With Noodles ... image

This is my family's recipe for an Eastern European Jewish favorite. This side dish is traditionally made with bowtie noodles. It is flavorful and addictively delicious. Definitely not for the carb-shy! I am gluten-free and sadly, there are no gluten-free bowtie noodles on the market. If you are gluten-free, Hoffner's GF egg noodles or Glutano brand tagliatelle (made of maize) work best. Buckwheat, by the way, is not related to wheat and is gluten-free (and tasty).

Total Time 35 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup buckwheat groats
1 egg
1 cup uncooked bow tie pasta (or other short, flat noodle) or 1 cup uncooked gluten-free egg noodles (or other short, flat noodle)
2 cups chicken stock, brought to a boil
1 teaspoon salt
1 quart water
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons corn oil or 3 tablespoons chicken fat
1 1/2 large onions, chopped coarsely

Steps:

  • Beat the egg in a small bowl. Add kasha and stir until every grain is well coated with egg. Place in a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the egg begins to dry and the groats separate. Some of the groats may stick together and/or brown slightly.
  • Pour boiling chicken stock over the kasha. Mix in salt and pepper and stir thoroughly. Cover and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until the kasha has absorbed all liquid. Remove from heat.
  • In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta until done. Drain and set aside.
  • In a skillet, heat the oil (or schmaltz) on a medium flame. Saute the chopped onions until thoroughly browned. Add the onions and noodles to the pot of kasha, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Kasha (Buckwheat Groats) Breakfast Cereal Recipe - Food.com image

I got this off the back of a box of Wolff's medium granulation kasha. I don't know if it would work with other granulations, as I haven't tried it! I'm not sure why it says to serve with milk -- I just treated it as if it were microwaved instant oatmeal, and added a couple of packets of Splenda at the end. Edited to add that the nutrition facts are obviously incorrect -- two tablespoons of dried kasha are 85 calories, so if you use water, that should be the calorie count.

Total Time 10 minutes

Prep Time 2 minutes

Cook Time 8 minutes

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons dried kasha
1 dash salt
2/3 cup water or 2/3 cup milk
artificial sweetener (optional)

Steps:

  • Stir 2 T kasha and a dash of salt into 2/3 cup water or milk in a 2- to 3-cup bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on MEDIUM, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thinner than desired consistency. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with milk and favorite sweetener.

KASHA VARNISHKES AT WOLFF'S IN NEW JERSEY RECIPE | EPICURIOUS
Packaged bow-tie noodles,large and small, quickly replaced the flat homemade egg noodles in the American version of kasha varnishkes. The trick to a good kasha varnishke is to toast the whole-grain buckwheat groat well over a high heat for 2 to 4 minutes until you start smelling the aroma of the kasha. This will seal the groats so that there is a nutty, crunchy taste to them, a good foil to the soft taste of the noodles.

KASHA IS RUSSIAN SOUL FOOD RECIPE | EXTRA CRISPY | MYRECIPES
Buckwheat groats, a.k.a. kasha, is by all accounts a humble food, a comfort food, a peasant food. To me, it’s a direct link to my parents' Soviet roots. When I was very young, my recent-immigrant mom would serve my sister and me kasha for breakfast. The smell was unmistakable, deeply toasty, perfuming the house as pervasively as brown rice, percolating coffee or stovetop popcorn would. She'd toast the grains in a hot, dry pan before cooking them in water to expert fluffiness, then scoop some into shallow bowls, top with milk, and serve. It was kind of like cereal, but so much better—the kasha warmed the milk through and infused it with nutty, earthy flavor. It was our soul food, even though I didn't know the term at the time.In the course of my life, the dish ended up being a Proustian one. It didn’t linger long in my childhood breakfast repertoire and belonged to a very specific period that I might call “pre-assimilation,” which lasted until I was around six years old, coinciding with the time that I started to bring lunch to school. While I don’t remember ever wanting to phase out buckwheat with milk, I suspect that what came between my DK (during-kasha) and PK (post-kasha) years was a yearning to eat the way other people did. You’d think this would have mostly to do with being the child of immigrants. While that certainly played a part, the food-shaming that was doled out by my peers had more to do with having a health-obsessed mom who packed raw green peppers in my lunch (which, full disclosure, I loved) than eating “foreign” food. In the era of Fruit Roll-Ups and Planters Cheez Balls, food that was healthy was foreign enough. My desire to conform was coupled with a ravenous appetite for junk food, a side-effect of getting none. I’m confident that the PK transition was marked by major whining at the grocery store, begging for cereals that I really wanted (anything with sugar, especially Crispy Wheats ‘n Raisins, whose very persuasive commercials featured gobs of honey baptizing plain flakes and the characters from the Wizard of Oz), followed by a reluctant acceptance of the ones that my mom would actually buy (anything without sugar). What took buckwheat’s place on the breakfast table were pre-Whole Foods artifacts like puffed rice, puffed millet, puffed corn, and Weetabix. I still loved kasha with milk, but I didn’t miss it. What I only learned later on is that kasha is a divisive food. If you don’t have Eastern European roots, chances are you won’t understand its appeal. (You still might not even if you do.) The “grain” is actually a fruit seed that’s related to rhubarb and sorrel, and it elicits responses that run hot or cold, as well as reluctant praise. In an affectionate Saveur essay on kasha varnishkes, an Ashkenzai Jewish staple of buckwheat groats cooked with plenty of onions and tossed with bowtie pasta, the author Phillip Lopate writes, “Kasha itself, let's face it, tastes like nothing, or like nothing with a little dirt thrown in.” And this is a tribute.Kasha varnishkes enjoy their place in the pantheon of Catskills mess halls and milchig delis, even if a breakfast of kasha with milk never caught on in the New World. But kasha looms large in the Soviet psyche, and there are plenty of Russian phrases to attest to this. ”You can’t make kasha with him” denotes an encounter with an invincible enemy, since in Russia, you can make kasha (Russian for porridge) out of pretty much anything. “You can never ruin kasha with butter” means the more of something you add, the better it will get. “Cabbage soup and kasha, that’s our real food” speaks for itself.The actual term for buckwheat in Russian is “grechka” or “grechnavaya kasha,” which, according to the food historian Gil Marks, refers to the Greek monks who cultivated buckwheat or the Greek traders who sold it. It was only when Jewish settlers arrived to en masse to the US in the late nineteenth century that buckwheat groats entered the American food lexicon. It’s in Yiddish that buckwheat are simply referred to as “kasha,” which is how we arrived at the shorthand in use today.Though I haven’t eaten kasha for breakfast since I was a child, ironically, buckwheat seems to be enjoying a moment, thanks in part to its inherent gluten-freeness, a growing interest in alternative grains and the fact that it lends itself well to the ever-popular bowl treatment. When I asked my mom why we stopped eating kasha for breakfast anyway, she informed me that she still does. It only seemed right then, to ask her for her recipe.Mom’s Breakfast KashaMany American Jews coat buckwheat groats in egg before cooking them, which supposedly prevents the grains from sticking together and getting mushy (you can probably thank the recipe on the side of the Wolff’s Kasha box for the prevalence of this method). But my mom, Anna Gershenson, cooks hers the Old World way, first toasting the groats in a dry pan, then cooking them in water for maximum fluffiness.
