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.

UKRAINIAN CABBAGE ROLLS
My parents are Ukrainian and this is a recipe we always made when I was growing up. These cabbage rolls have no meat in them. Sometimes they used salt pork in them, but I didn't care for it.

UKRAINIAN MEAT FILLED CABBAGE ROLLS
In Ukrainian kitchens, cabbage leaves are often used as cases for soft fillings. These rolls are a little different, because the leaves are filled with a meat stuffing and not primarily a cereal mixture. This makes them 'holiday' fare. For a different flavor, use tomato juice instead of chicken broth. See the note at the bottom of the recipe for pressure cooking instructions.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sautee onion in butter until tender. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool. When the onion is cool enough to handle, mix together the ground pork, bread crumbs, egg, salt and pepper until well blended.
- Place the head of cabbage in a large pot, and add enough water to cover the cabbage halfway. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 2 minutes. As the outer leaves become translucent and soft, remove them one at a time by peeling them off with a wooden spoon. Trim off the thick ribs at the leaf stem.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish, and line the bottom with outer cabbage leaves. Lay a few more leaves on a clean work surface. Place a large spoonful of the pork mixture at the base of each leaf. Roll up towards the top. Repeat until filling is used up. Arrange the finished rolls over the leaves in the dish, and pour in just enough broth to cover the rolls. Place extra cabbage leaves over the top.
- Cover, and bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. When finished, drain off broth from the dish into a small saucepan. Whisk together the flour and sour cream. Gradually stir the sour cream into the broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until heated, about 5 minutes.
- To serve, arrange cabbage rolls on a platter, cover with sauce and sprinkle with dill. This goes perfectly with homemade noodles, or millet kasha.

Tips:
- Use a large pot: You'll need a large pot to fit all of the cabbage rolls and sauce. A Dutch oven or stockpot works well.
- Blanch the cabbage leaves: Blanching the cabbage leaves makes them more pliable and easier to roll. To blanch the leaves, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cabbage leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are wilted. Remove the leaves from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of fillings: The filling for kasha cabbage rolls can be made with a variety of ingredients. Some popular fillings include rice, ground beef, pork, lamb, and vegetables. You can also add spices, herbs, and seasonings to taste.
- Roll the cabbage rolls tightly: Once you have filled the cabbage leaves, roll them up tightly. This will help to keep the filling inside the rolls.
- Cook the cabbage rolls in a flavorful sauce: The cabbage rolls are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with tomatoes, onions, and garlic. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as mushrooms, carrots, or celery.
- Serve the cabbage rolls with sour cream or yogurt: Kasha cabbage rolls are traditionally served with sour cream or yogurt. You can also serve them with a dollop of mashed potatoes or a side of salad.
Conclusion:
Kasha cabbage rolls are a hearty and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins. Kasha cabbage rolls can be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve them. They are also a great meal to freeze for later.
