Remove from pan and set aside., Combine buckwheat groats and egg in a small bowl; add to the same skillet. Cook and stir over high heat for 2-4 minutes or until buckwheat is browned, separating grains with the back of a spoon. Add the hot broth, salt and pepper., Bring to a boil; add onion mixture. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Drain pasta; add to pan and heat through. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Mix the groats with the egg white in a heavy quart-and-a-half saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir with a fork for two to three minutes, until the grains are separated.
• Add the mushrooms and stock. Bring to a simmer, add the thyme, cover and cook over very low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil, then saute onions until soft. Add carrots and saute until the onions take on some color. Add mushrooms, then garlic. Saute for 2 more minutes. Meanwhile, mix kasha with eggs and seasonings. Add the kasha egg mixture to the saute pan with the vegetables and cook over medium heat until dry looking and kernels separate. Add stock and cook, covered, until liquid is absorbed and kasha is tender, about 12 minutes,. Mix in bowties. Serve with ketchup and/or gravy.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat.
• Add the onions and saute, stirring often.
• While the onions are sauting, heat the vegetable broth in a saucepan, to boiling.
• In a bowl, mix together the egg and kasha.
• When the onions have softened, add in the kasha mixture and stir well to combine.
• Stir the kasha mixture for a minute or two, until the kasha kernels are separate and dry.
• When the stock boils, add it to the skillet; cover, and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes or so, until the liquid is absorbed and the kasha is cooked.
• While the kasha is cooking, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in another medium skillet; saute/stir the mushrooms over high heat until the mushrooms release their juices.
• Remove the mushroom skillet from the heat.
• When the kasha is tender, add the mushrooms and 2-3 tablespoons of their liquid.
• Add in the soy sauce, dill, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat a dutch oven pot with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Add sliced mushrooms and onions and saute until caramelized.
• Beat one egg in a bowl, add dried kasha and mix thoroughly.
• Heat a small skillet and add kasha/egg mixture.
• Stir until kasha kernels are separated.
• Once seperated, add kasha to onion/mushroom mix with two cups of water and one boullion cube.

Steps:

• Place the groats in a small, heavy saucepan. Stir in the egg to coat the grains. Cook over medium high heat, stirring, until the groats are dry and separate. Don't worry if some of the egg has coated the pan. Add 1 1/2 cups of stock, bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the groats are just tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. (This proportion of liquid to grain is smaller than recommended on the package. The results are crunchy and separate, but additional moisture is picked up in the process of cooking the stuffing in the poultry and the grains will soften.)
• Heat butter and oil in a large skillet. Add the onion, saute until just beginning to soften, then add the mushrooms. Saute over medium high heat until the mushrooms are beginning to brown. Add the scallions, garlic, parsley and thyme.
• Stir in the cooked kasha and the bread. Moisten with the remaining one-half cup of stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Place porcini in small bowl with 1 1/2 cups boiling water. Let soak until mushrooms are soft, 1 hour. Remove mushrooms from liquid; squeeze dry. Set mushrooms aside. Strain soaking liquid, leaving any sediment behind. Reserve soaking liquid.
• Combine buckwheat groats and beaten egg in heavy large pot (preferably nonstick). Stir over medium heat until grains are separated and lightly browned, 10 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer onions to bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, all mushrooms, and garlic to same skillet. Sauté until mushrooms are brown and tender, about 7 minutes. Add 1/2 cup reserved porcini soaking liquid and boil until liquid evaporates. Remove from heat.
• Add remaining reserved soaking liquid and 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth to pot with buckwheat groats. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until buckwheat groats are almost tender, stirring occasionally and adding more vegetable broth by 1/4 cupfuls if needed, about 20 minutes. Add onions and mushrooms to pot and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
