Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 egg whites
1/2 cup kasha
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 rib celery, sliced thin
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup chicken stock or broth
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt, if desired

Steps:

  • In a nonstick saucepan beat the egg whites slightly; then spoon off and discard about a teaspoon.
  • Mix kasha with the remaining whites. Stir frequently over medium heat until each grain is separate and dry.
  • Push kasha to one side of the pan and add oil to the pan. When it is hot, add celery and onion and saute over medium heat a few minutes until onion begins to soften and brown.
  • Add chicken stock; combine ingredients in the pan and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat; cover pan and simmer about 15 minutes, until kasha is tender. Stir almonds into kasha.

I added some chopped dried apricots to this pilaf and it was a great addition. The sweetness of the apricots really complemented the savory flavors of the kasha and spices.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted pine nuts in this recipe. It was still very delicious.

This is one of my favorite pilaf recipes. The kasha is nutty and slightly chewy, and the almonds add a nice crunch. I like to serve it with grilled chicken or fish.
