RFCJ RECIPE ARCHIVE
Posted by : "Gurnicht" Kasha Varnishkes #3, Yiddishe - dairy
American Jews use this product for meal named "Varnychkes". My parents made home made varnechkes rolling dough to thin sheet (1 mm) and cut to squares 2x2 cm. But Bowtie is excellent too. So: Yiddishe Varnychkes 2 cup Buckweat 1 large Onion (Optional 1 cup sliced mushrooms) 2 tbsp. butter 1 lb Bowtie salt & pepper Place buckweat to empty pot and burn it a little, Add 3 cup of water, salt and cook low heat until water evaporise. Meanwile chopped onion fry with butter, when onion is golden add mushrooms and cook about 15 min. As lomg as buckweat is cooked and no water on the bottom add fried onion with mushrooms. Add pepper to taste. Note: The best quality of buckweat are Lithuanian, Polish or Russian dark kinds of buckweat. Don't buy cracked one.
