Hadn't made kasha for a decade or more & couldn't remember the rhythm of it. After this recipe, I got it! Start off by roasting the groats!!! Without it, tastes uncooked & not the full depth of possible flavor. Topped with plain yogurt, yum!

I was making seared ahi steaks and wanted to serve buckwheat groats rather than soba as a side dish, so I used dashi as the liquid instead of broth and omitted the thyme, instead topping it with chopped scallions. Dee-lish!

Made more of a "crispy mushrooms and onions" by cooking seperately for 15 min, then merged at the end.
