My grandmother cooked this, my mother cooked this, I cook it and now my daughter cooks it too. My granddaughter likes it and may someday cook it too.

It is a family recipe made vegan by me.  Buckwheat groats are high in energy, low in starch, easily digestible and nutritious. They are tasty too, imho.

Ingredients

• 1 cup kasha
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1 TBSP  olive oil
• I medium onion , chopped
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp.  black pepper

Directions

1. Either use toasted kasha or toast kasha dry in a cast iron pan until it releases a toasted smell.
2. Heat your cast iron pan to medium, add oil, then onions and mushrooms.  Sauté until onions are golden brown. Mushrooms put in last so they only cook  slightly.
3. Add kasha and stir
4. Add salt and pepper and the 2 1/2 cups of boiling water. Stir.
5. Cover and cook for 20 minutes at a simmer.
6. Kasha should be dry and fluffy.
7. Serve.
