BRAISED LAMB SHANKS WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES AND BUCKWHEAT (KASHA) BREAD
Steps:
- For the lamb: In a large, heavy-bottomed braising pan or Dutch oven, heat the oil to very hot. Brown the lamb shanks 2 at a time. Remove them to a side platter. Add the onions and cook until lightly colored. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Return the lamb shanks to the pan and cover 2/3 up with chicken stock. On low flame, cook for 1 hour, repositioning the shanks for even cooking until very tender. Remove the shanks and strain the stock. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Skim off most of the fat and bring stock to slow boil in the pan. Blanch the potatoes in the stock for 2 minutes. Transfer to roasting pan and set in oven. Blanch and transfer carrots, then parsnips and then zucchini in same manner. Roast vegetables for 10 minutes. Add lamb shanks to roasting pan with vegetables after 5 minutes and roast them for the final 5 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar to stock and reduce over high heat until thickened. Adjust vinegar to taste. Serve shanks with vegetables and sauce.
- For the bread: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Lightly coat a 9 by 9-inch baking pan with 2 teaspoons of the butter. Put the cornmeal in the pan and shake to coat. In a bowl, stir together the kasha, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix in eggs, onion and buttermilk, then the remaining butter. Transfer to prepared pan and bake for 18 minutes or set and crusty. When cool enough, cut into squares.

KASHA VEGETABLE CASSEROLE
Kasha, a popular grain in Russian cookery, consists of toasted hulled buckwheat groats. Look for kasha in the cereal, grain, or flour section of your supermarket. You may use regular buckwheat groats, but they lack the nuutty, full flavor of kasha.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan combine 1 1/3 cups broth or water and kasha. Bring to boiling; reduced heat. Cover and simmer till all of the liquid is absorbed, allowing 25 minutes for kasha (15 minutes if you use buckwheat groats.).
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet melt margarine or butter. Add broccoli, onion, squash or zucchini, and carrots. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or till vegetables are crisp-tender. Add kasha, basil, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

KASHA WITH VEGETABLES
Kasha boasts a wonderfully nutty flavor when toasted. You can buy it already toasted. If you buy the untoasted variety, toss it lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until it colors. Hearty, but not too heavy, kasha is a staple of Northern Europe and Russia traditionally served as an accompaniment to meats, in pilafs or as the essential ingredient in many traditional Jewish dishes like kasha varnishkes. Exotic though it may sound, kasha is just basic buckwheat groats, used like a grain, but botanically just a cousin of true grains. Once only available through specialty grocers, you'll find kasha in many health food stores and supermarkets now as well. So, by all means, go nuts with kasha!

KASHA VARNISHKES
Kasha, toasted hulled buckwheat, is not what you would call versatile. But kasha varnishkes - kasha, noodles (typically bow ties), loads of slow-cooked onions and fat - is an amazing dish, one I used to beg my grandmother and mother to make for me, one that shows kasha in a light that does not shine on it elsewhere, at least in my repertory.

Steps:
- Put onions in a large skillet with a lid over medium heat. Cover skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, until onion is dry and almost sticking to pan. Add fat or oil, raise heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is nicely browned, at least 10 minutes or so longer.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a separate, medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil, stir in the kasha and about a teaspoon of salt. Cover and simmer until kasha is soft and fluffy, about 15 minutes. Let stand, off heat and covered.
- Salt the large pot of boiling water and cook noodles until tender but still firm. Drain and combine with the onions and kasha, adding more fat or oil if you like. Season with salt and lots of pepper and serve immediately.

KASHA
For years I have had uneven results with buckwheat groats, or kasha, as the dry-roasted grains are called. I have tried different methods, both stovetop and oven, and usually mixed the grains with an egg before cooking. Sometimes my grains cooked up to a mush, other times they held their shape but still seemed rather soft and indistinct. I sort of gave up on kasha for a while, opting for more predictable grains and pseudo-grains like quinoa and spelt. But I love the flavor of buckwheat, so this week I took another stab at buckwheat groats with a box of medium-grain kasha I bought at the supermarket - and everything changed. These grains were cracked, like bulgur, something I hadn't seen before. I followed the directions on the box, and they turned out perfect -- dry and fluffy, with the wonderful nutty/earthy buckwheat flavor I find so appealing. To see if it was the cut of the grain only or the combination of the cut of the grain and the cooking method that gave me such good results, I used the exact same cooking method using whole toasted buckwheat groats. The whole groats turned out better than any I had made before, but they took three times as long to cook than the cracked groats, yielded a little less, and because all of the egg is not absorbed by the whole grains the way it is by the cracked grains, which have more cut surfaces to absorb the egg, you get some egg flakes floating on the top of the cooked kasha, which is not very attractive (though it's easy to remove them).

Steps:
- Combine water, salt, and butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once it reaches the boil turn off heat and cover.
- Meanwhile, beat egg in a medium bowl and add kasha. Mix together until grains are thoroughly and evenly coated.
- Transfer to a medium-size, wide, heavy saucepan (I use Analon nonstick), place over high heat and stir egg-coated kasha constantly until grains are dry, smell toasty, and no egg is visible, 2 to 3 minutes. Add just-boiled water, turn heat to very low, cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes for cracked kasha, 30 minutes for whole kasha, or until all of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
- Remove lid from pan, place clean dish towel over pan (not touching the grains), and cover tightly. Let sit undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes. Fluff and serve.

- Soaking beans and grains: This step is optional, however, I highly recommend it. It makes beans and grains more digestible, it wakes up their dormant enzymes and helps eliminate most of the phytic acid they contain, allowing us to absorb better some of their fabulous nutrients. Lastly, soaking makes beans less heavy on the digestive tract. 1.Soak buckwheat and sunflower seeds: See above for soaking instructions (soak them separately).
- 2. In a large saucepan, combine buckwheat with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook covered, 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand 5 minutes.
- 4. Drizzle cauliflower and broccoli with 3 tablespoons olive oil and place in a parchment lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and roast for about 15 minutes, or until browned spots appear and the smells calls you to check the oven! 5. Make the dressing by whisking the vinegar, mustard, honey and the remaining 1/4 oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. 6. Assembly: you can serve this dish hot or cold. Combine the kasha, roasted broccoli and cauliflower, and add half of the dressing. Add the kale and sunflower seeds and mix thoroughly, so the kale soaks in some of the dressing. Taste and add more dressing, as needed. 7. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and serve.

- Rinse the mushrooms in cold water, place them in a bowl with 1 cup of warm water, and soak until the mushroom caps are soft.
