I have been making Kasha for years and this is good but you need to add some zip to it! My mother, who is 85, insists on dried onions, garlic powder, lots of salt, pepper and of course, butter. I add a 1/4 of a cup to each cup of kasha. When she’s not around I use reduced sodium beef or chicken broth. I made this for my mother-in-law on the night we buried her husband of 54 years and she actually smiled. It has become a staple in her house. One more suggestion: I have tried other brands but Wolff’s medium is by far the best.

so glad you ran this - it is the ultimate comfort food and is very very high in protein - kasha has the highest protein of any grain. I did find rice bowties in the passover section this year. Hurrah!

Oh, I’m so glad you came by. I was going to email you today to make sure that I’d done this correctly. I checked your recipe last night and thought I was okay, but I’m glad to have that verified by someone who has grown up with it =)

yep, you did it right! steps 2 & 3 are the most important. dunno if you’ve seen my GF kasha varnishkes recipe here but that is basically my family recipe. I have since discovered that GF egg noodles make a good varnishke. It’s really sad to me that I can’t find GF bowties though! there’s something about bowties…. anyway i love that more people are discovering the deliciousness of kasha varnishkes!
