Instructions
- In a frying pan, fry the finely chopped onion in the butter over medium heat until golden, about 6 minutes.
- Mix the kasza with the beaten egg in a bowl until every grain is coated.
- Heat a dry saucepan and toast the coated kasza over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring, until the grains separate.
- Pour the boiling salted water over the kasza, cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let it rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Stir in the golden onions and pepper before serving.
Variations and tips
Mushroom kasza. Add rehydrated dried mushrooms, thinly sliced, to the onions for a more rustic version.
