Kasha Varnishkes - bowtie pasta or farfalle and buckwheat groats 

Many years ago I made KV according to the directions on the box, but I didn't fry any onions in schmaltz. I took a packet of Lipton's onion soup mix, and just added a quarter of the amount of water that the soup recipe calls for, instead of chicken stock. Then I happen to be frying some chicken on the stove. After it was done, I poured all the drippings over the Kasha and mixed it in AFTER the kasha was done cooking on stove. It was the best KV I ever ate!!!!!

Chef Bart, Enjoyed your video making kv, and I find it much more comprehensive with the egg than the other new york times video. When I made it several years ago I would take it one step further by baking the mixture after all the ingredients were combined. The recipe came from my mothers 1953 book of jewish cooking. Thank you for a superior tutorial.

Just made it your way…AMAZING!!!

Great video. It's my go-to recipe

This is the proper method!

one of my favorite jewish meals my dad makes it all the time and its delicious

Looks fantastic. Do you use The whole grain kasha or the finer ones? There are two different boxes at the store.

Thanks for the instruction,looks perfect.I will make it this way soon.

I have an old newspaper clipping, probably from the 70s, of recipes by "Fannie Fertik". One is a brownie recipe, and that is why I kept it. Another is called "Kasha and Bow-ties", made pretty much like this, and another called Kasha Varnitches, which is made with broad noodles, onions, chicken fat, kasha, pepper and salt. Seemed very strange eats to me, that is why I looked it up to see if people made it the same way today. I would use butter.

pretty close to my recipe...DON'S KASHA VARNISHES Ingredients 1 box medium grain kasha 2eggs 4cups chicken soup 4 onions (yellow) 2 boxes egg bow ties pasta Directions Pour box of kasha slowly into scrambled eggs and incorporate kasha into egg mixture and cook over medium heat braking up mixture until it pours like sand. Fry 4 onions cut in pieces Boil 4 cups of chicken soup Pour onions with half of oil into kasha Pour boiling soup into mixture into kasha Let absorb for 10 minutes over low heat 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon of salt Incorporate bow ties into kasha Enjoy!

It's usually served with a brown gravy over it.

I wouldn't make this without mushrooms, herbs and paprika for sure. This recipe is extremely plain! I don't bother toasting the groats w/ egg either. It's not necessary and I hate that eggy smell. You can toast them dry and they don't stick together. Also, I use butter instead of schmaltz. "Horses for courses" as they say.

what temp do you toast the kasha and egg. i usually burn mine. also, it smells funny when i cook it. I do a good job cooking other things.

How much each ingredient?

WTH? You need to caramelize the onions!!
