Great side dish, excellent as a replacement for rice. Very flavorful, although I did add some salt to taste after cooking. The Zaar nutrition facts don't show this, but, kasha is a very nutritional grain. Cooks like barley. I had this as a side to # 88753 Cottage Cheese Roast (Vegetarian Meatloaf). A wonderful healthy, low fat meal. Thanks for posting cookie. Mine looked just like the photo by CPolencheck so I did not bother to submit another. -
This was my first time making and eating kasha. We enjoyed this dish, although I did not have a red pepper to add at the end. I do think that the recipe could use a little salt. Thank you!
