Directions
Buckwheat and Cottage Cheese Casserole, From: Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass The savory combination of buckwheat and cottage cheese shows up in many traditional Russian cookbooks, and creates the kind of dense, comforting pudding that we yearn for when there’s frost on the windows Use toasted buckwheat (kasha) for a robust flavor, and untoasted buckwheat for a subtler dish Serve the casserole as an accompaniment to brisket, pot roast, or short ribs Vegetarians will enjoy it as an entree , I would not have thought to make something like this on my own so adding a star even tho I changed things up to get more flavor Used seasoning salt rather than regular, cooked my kasha in broth, and added onion and garlic Didn’t coat the dish or use oats, and used fat free cottage cheese with good results Was out of sour cream so topped with a light sprinkle of queso Added bacon and I’d add more veg like carrots and celery next time, and maybe either chicken or sausage to make a main dish Thanks for sharing!, Was somewhat dull tasting We want to make this again and add onions It tasted better after sitting overnight Good use for leftover buckwheat groats Never made anything like this dish before
