vegetarianRecipe: Kasha Burgers

Kasha, or toasted buckwheat, has a smoky flavor that people either love or hate. If you love it, you'll absolutely adore these crusty kasha and mushroom burgers.

Yield 6 burgers
Time 30 minutes
Tools
  • large saucepan with lid
  • wooden spoon
  • large bowl
  • large frying pan
  • spatula
Ingredients
  • 3 T vegetable oil or butter
  • 3 c onion, chopped
  • 3 c mushrooms (portobello, oyster, shiitake, etc.), chopped
  • 2/3 c white wine
  • 2 c water
  • 1˝ t thyme
  • ˝ t sage
  • 3 T soy sauce
  • black pepper
  • 1 c kasha
  • 3 - 4 T white flour
Directions Heat 1 T of oil and sauté the onions over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and 1 more T oil. Continue cooking and stirring for another 2 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients except flour and remaining 1 T oil. Bring to a boil, cover, and lower heat. Simmer 15 minutes, until water is nearly absorbed and kasha is tender.

Pour into bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Add 3 T flour and mix well - mixture will be thick and sticky.

Flour your hands and then shape mixture into six burgers.

Heat remaining 1 T oil over medium heat. Place burgers and pat down to 1-in thick. Cook 2-3 minutes, until dark brown and crusty. Flip and repeat.

Transfer to bread, toast, or a bun, dress up and serve immediately.

Notes Adapted from Didi Emmons' Vegetarian Planet, in which they are called Felicia's Kasha Burgers.
