Ingredients
1/2 cup each diced onion and sliced mushrooms
2 tsp margarine
2 cups water
1 1/2 ounces uncooked bow-tie macaroni
2 packets instant chicken broth and
seasoning mix
2 ounces uncooked coarse-grain buckwheat
(kasha)
Method
-
In 2-quart microwavable casserole
combine vegetables and margarine and microwave on High (100%) for 2
minutes until vegetables are softened.
-
Add water, macaroni, and broth mix and
stir to combine; microwave on High for 8 minutes, stirring halfway
through cooking.
-
Stir in buckwheat groats, cover with
vented plastic wrap, and microwave on High for 3 minutes, stirring
after 2 minutes.
-
Let stand for 5 minutes, until water is
absorbed.
Notes:
-
Although the term "kasha" generally
refers to buckwheat groats, it is really an eastern European name
for a grain pilaf. Buckwheat groats come in coarse, medium, and fine
grinds
-
Use coarse grain groats for hearty
dishes and medium or fine groats in recipes requiring a more delicate
texture.
