Review:  This recipe called for buckwheat groats. I put it off, since I had no idea of where to buy this ingredient. However, about a month ago we visited the Nepalese market in town and they had a bag of buckwheat. I cooked it up the other day and it looked nothing like the pictures on google (I had to look up the cooking instructions!). After quite a bit of research, I found that I had cooked buckwheat that still had the hull on it - which is inedible. It's used for making flour, which is not what I needed. So, it all went in the trash. This recipe also called for toasting the *hulled* buckwheat groats. This led to the discovery that you can buy pretoasted buckwheat, which is referred to as kasha, which is easily found in the Kosher section of the grocery store. Eesh. So, I bought kasha and refer to it as such in this recipe!! Notably, there are many references to kasha in Seinfeld - mostly discussing the smell. It smells a lot like potting soil, very dirty and earthy. It tastes pretty wonderful, though. I could easily have eating a bowl of this without the vegetables, just the kasha, sauce and eggs (breakfast?!). I did feel guilty in realizing I would need to reheat this at work for lunch, causing a huge stink in the offices. However, it's not as bad as my coworkers who microwave leftover fish!!!!!
