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.

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. |
