The word “kasha” is commonly used to describe roasted buckwheat groats. Buckwheat groats are also commonly used in eastern Europe, often in form of a porridge dish, which is called “kasha” as well. Buckwheat is actually a fruit of the dicotyledonious plant and not a cereal grain and therefore it is gluten free.

A casserole that looks like a crumble! I haven’t tried kasha yet because of the lack of interesting recipes but this one is likely to change my mind.
I’ve tried your balsamic/maple dressing on a quinoa/roasted veggies salad yesterday. Fantastic!
