The Best (Maybe the Only) Kasha Varnishkes You've Ever Tasted!
Today I'm going to show you how to make one of my life-long favorite dishes: Kasha Varnishkas. It's a great gluten-free alternative to rice with a rich, nutty flavor and lots of nutrition. I cook mine with a few little twists that I think makes for the most delicious version of the dish. Sharing this recipe with you is proof I love every one of my viewers! You should share it with those you love, too!
Ingredients
1 box (2 cups) whole or coarse ground kasha
6 oz mini egg bow tie egg noodles
4 cups chicken broth or chicken stock
2 large eggs
1 large sweet onion
1 6-oz. jar of sliced mushrooms
1 stick unsalted butter (8 TBS)
Kosher salt
Instructions
Boil 3 quarts of salted water. Boil egg bows for 8 minutes and drain. Meanwhile,
In a bowl, add 2 beaten eggs to the dry kasha and mix well until all grains are coated. Set aside.
Chop onion coarsly.
Melt 3 TBS butter in a large, deep skillet or pot. Saute onions with a pinch of salt until they are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes.
Move vegetables to the outer edge of the pan and melt another TBS of butter in the center. Add kasha to the center of the pan, making sure the grains are separated. Gently combine with onions and mushrooms and allow grains to toast on medium heat for about 2 minutes, until they become aromatic.
While the kasha is toasting, melt the remaining 4 TBS butter in the pot in which the noodles were boiled and add the drained egg bows back to the pot. Stir to coat and set aside.
Stir and separate the kasha grains. Add 4 cups of chicken broth or stock, and bring to a boil.
Allow to boil, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute, until grains soften slightly.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
Fluff grains. Add bow ties and fold together until evenly combined.
I like to eat kasha just as it is. It is also good as a cold leftover and it also reheats well. It's great combined with chicken or other vegetables. My dad likes to top his with beef gravy. Experiment and let me know what your experience was!

Yonah Schimmel’s Knish Bakery is a bakery and restaurant, located at 137 East Houston Street (between First Avenue and Second Avenue), in the Lower East Side, Manhattan, that has been selling knishes on the Lower East Side since 1910 from its original location on Houston Street.
Yonah was a Romanian rabbi who opened a pushcart with his wife in Coney Island in 1890.There they became famous for the potato and kasha dumplings known as knishes (the “K” is pronounced). In 1910, Schimmel went into business with his cousin Joseph Bergerand opened the store that still sits on East Houston Street.
Over the decades, many notable fans have come by for a knish, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Barbara Streisand and Woody Allen, who filmed a scene from “Whatever Works” here with Larry David.
Today the shop, which is the last remaining knish bakery in Manhattan, is owned by Yonah’s great nephew, remaining a family business.
As the Lower East Side has changed over the decades and many of its Jewish residents have departed, Yonah Schimmel’s is one of the few distinctly Jewish businesses and restaurants that remain as a fixture of this largely departed culture and cuisine.
As cited in The Underground Gourmet, a review of Yonah Schimmel’s in a collection of restaurant reviews by Milton Glaser and Jerome Snyder, “No New York politician in the last 50 years has been elected to office without having at least one photograph showing him on the Lower East Side with a knish in his face.”
A knish (/kəˈnɪʃ/ pronounced knysh) is an Eastern European snack food made popular in North America by Jewish immigrants. A knish consists primarily of potato, onion and seasoning filling wrapped with a thin layer of dough that is baked, never fried. The best hand made knishes can be purchased at the original store in New York City or online. Yonah Schimmel’s is the oldest family owned and operated Knishery in America
In the most traditional versions, the filling is made entirely of mashed potato. Some of our most popular savory knishes include cabbage, kasha,
(buckwheat grain) or spinach. More modern varieties of fillings feature sweet potatoes, broccoli, jalapenos and more. Real knishes are round, not square and never fried. Yonah’s sweet cheese knishes consists mostly cheese coupled with your choice of fruit filling and wrapped in dough. Pre order cocktail size knishes or enjoy our regular size knish as a meal. - knishery.com

The Oldest Knishery in America
Without a physical storefront, Romanian immigrant Yonah Schimmel first sold his knishes using a pushcart around the Lower East Side. As business grew, he established his bakery on Houston Street in the 1890s. Yonah Schimmel Knishes has since been a neighborhood fixture, even despite the continuous changes on the Lower East Side over the decades. Today, Yonah Schimmel’s still makes knishes the traditional way—hand wrapping a filling of potatoes or kasha (buckwheat grain) with a thin layer of dough before sending it to the oven to bake. On top of the traditional potato and kasha knishes, they have also added modern flavors—sweet potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, jalapenos, and even sweet cheese ones! -Goldbelly
