Jackpine Radical Cooking

They were delicious. along with my version of cole slaw-I use Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese dressing instead of that bland stuff.

Please stop. I am drooling on my phone.

@surrealamerican,  the subtitled translation didn’t cover everything she said.  She said “ausgeprägt braun” and used the term “Schocolade” to describe the darkness of the onions.  Sounded like really dark “caramelization” as you said.

That’s the stuff! Ours was a little different – we cooked the kasha in chicken stock, and didn’t use mushrooms.

The one thing she might have emphasized more: you want those onions very brown (caramelized really). It makes a big difference to the flavor of the dish.

That was great, thanks! What a sweet heart and I’ll bet that tastes wonderful. Maybe I’ll try that recipe. I like to cook things I can eat all week…I wonder if that could be frozen? Just thinking out loud….

Thank you!

@surrealamerican, @haikugal  I enjoyed watching this jolly lady making “kasha varnishkas”

@janboehmermann Yes, ginger and a little toasted sesame oil, some coconut aminos…hmmm good!!

@haikugal Do you think that was ginger they put in there?  TIA!

Sounds interesting…can you give us a little more information?

@janboehmermann

Looks like chicken broth, red cabbage, carrots?, chicken, scallions and a little spice. Pretty simple…with those noodles whatever you do will be delicious. Enjoy and come back and let us know what you do…take pictures!

@haikugal This is a recipe I might try.  I prefer SIMPLE….. unless somebody else is doing the cooking!

Just wish they would have al least NAMED the ingredients!

What, no recipe?

… or, at least, a brand name if you didn’t bake it yourself.

For me, buckwheat always reminds me of the “kasha varnishkas” that I loved as a kid.

@janboehmermann

Checkout King Soba Sweet Potato & Buckwheat noodles…oh my gawd!! I love them, but they are a bit pricey. Japanese quality though. Gluten free for those with dietary challenges.

@haikugal, I actually got the idea of trying “buckwheat” when I heard Jimmy Dore raving about the noodles.

No. I don’t harvest it. Too much for for small returns!

@elias39, I thought “buckwheat” was some lower grade of actual “wheat”.  But as you know,  it’s not wheat.   Higher protein.  Do you harvest your buckwheat, or do you just use it as a cover crop to condition the soil?

O-Tay! Good for you!

Mmmm hmm!

Buckwheat pancakes are my favorite! Buckwheat soba noodles are good too.
