  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3             medium  onions -- thinly sliced
  2               Tbsp  olive oil
  1                cup  kasha -- medium or coarse  (buckwheat groats)
  1              large  egg
  8                 oz  sliced cremini mushrooms -- or white button mushrooms
  2 1/2           cups  broth -- (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
                        Fresh black pepper
                        Kosher salt -- (if using homemade broth)
 
 
In a 3-quart slow cooker, stir the onions and olive oil together. Cook on
HIGH for 2 hours, stirring once. The onions should begin to brown here and
there.
In a small bowl, toss the kasha with the egg to coat all of the grains,
then add it to the slow cooker along with the mushrooms, broth, and 1/2
teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything together.
Cook on HIGH for 40-45 minutes, stirring once or twice, or until the
liquid is absorbed and the kasha is soft.
Serve as a side dish to any roast or grilled meat or fish.
 
Serves 6 as a side
 
Some time during the summer, my slow cooker took up residence on the
kitchen counter, and ever since, I've been inspired to adapt some of my
favorite stove top recipes to the low-and-slow method. Kasha (buckwheat
groats) reminds my taste buds of the best comfort food that came out of my
Polish grandmother's kitchen, and it never fails to satisfy, whether I'm
serving it as a side dish with roast chicken or brisket, or a lunch or
light supper entree with a tangy green salad on the side. If you've never
cooked with kasha before, look for it in the ethnic foods aisle at your
grocery store; it comes in three different granulations -- fine, medium,
and coarse. This kasha, kicked up a bit with caramelized onions and
mushrooms, does its thing without the frequent tending the stove top
version demands, down to browning the onions right in the slow cooker. You
can make ahead and freeze, then reheat in the microwave.
