Hey ladies!
My family's not a fan of kasha aka buckwheat, but I ship it. Tonight I'm serving because it's yud tes Kislev🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 and we're only looking for You.

Can anyone recommend a method/recipe that's guaranteed to be heaven? I'm thinking lotf of fresh onion and garlic but I feel like it may need sweetness to go over idk!!

Any and all help is appreciated! TIA 💝

This is an important topic.

Some people love sweet kasha, but I’m against it.

My cousins serve it to their kids with sugar and milk.

However, if you’re not going the sweet route, the secret is either lots of butter, or lots of meat sauce/gravy.

I make it with tons of carmelized onions, sometimes sauteed diced mushrooms, salt, pepper, and vegetable broth. Toasting the kasha before adding the liquid adds flavor. It's a big treat to many in my family.

What's the significance of 19 Kislev and Kasha?

I know it's the day that Lubavitcher rebbe was freed...

My husband likes it with salt and cranberries 🤷‍♀️

The Alter Rebbe ate kasha in prison. So it's a minhag

This is reminding me of the Cantonists’ song.

The rebbe used to teach me
Chumash with Rashi
Now I serve the tsar
For borsch and kasha!

So good with tuna, Mayo, lemon juice and salt. When I was a kid we are it with salt, butter and milk

My absolute and my kids YAY YAY food is kasha in chicken soup instead of noodles. It was our every single Thursday night dinner growing up. We never got bored of it. Cute to see how my kids love it too

The taste of my childhood. Still the only way my oldest would eat it.

I love kasha no matter which way it is prepared, sweet or savory. As long as it's whole granulation and without onions.

It's amazing with sautéed mushrooms (not canned) with good amount of chicken fat. Or in chicken soup as was already mentioned.
Many people like it with bowtie pasta - kasha varnishkes. I'm embarrassed to say, I've never tried it this way. Can't Believe It

I love it mixed with mashed potatoes or as a mixed with chopped eggs as a blintz filling. Or with melted cheese.

No matter what you add to it, the best tip I learnt is to toast the grains before adding water, with or without oil. This intensifies the flavor and elevates it over regular soggy kasha.

Interesting. I've never heard of sweet kasha.

No one in my family (dh and kids) likes it, but I still make it for myself from time to time. Pretty basic recipe, the way my family growing up ate it. Just toasted with an egg till absorbed, mix with finely chopped sauteed onions and cooked. Or as kasha vareniki in broth.

I love it like this:
sauté onion
while sautéing, mix kasha with a raw egg.
Add to onion, keep stirring until the egg dries up/cooks.
Add water, salt and pepper.
cook until water is absorbed.
I believe it's a ratio of 1 cup kasha to 2 cups water, though I may be wrong. I go with liquid ratio of recipe on the box, and I forget after each time I make it.
Yum! I think I'll make it tomorrow!
