Ingredients

3 cups kasha
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
6 cups chicken broth or water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

In a large saucepan, toast kasha over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until it darkens and starts to smell nutty, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add oil, heat for a few seconds, then add onion and sauté about 3 minutes, stirring. Pour in broth or water, add salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Cover pot, turn heat to low, and cook until kasha is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
