I help people eat more vegetables through my cooking companion videos. My goal is to make you feel more comfortable cooking, so I show you not only how a recipe works and looks, but I give techniques and suggestions for making it easy on beginner cooks. <\/p>\n<p>When you cook more at home, you&#8217;re eating healthy and saving money. Cooking at home is a great date idea and a very special way to treat friends and family. As you cook more, it will become easier and quicker. I also show valuable cooking tips for freezing, preserving, and storing food.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re watching this, you probably already know about the nutritional properties of kasha, so I won&#8217;t go into that. Cooking toasted buckwheat is just like cooking rice. First, we\u2019ll cover the soft way. This gives the kasha a soft, almost porridge consistency. Use a 2-1 ratio of liquid to grain. So, 2 cups of water to 1 cup of kasha. <\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<br \/>\n1 cup, toasted buckwheat or kasha<br \/>\n2 cups water, can substitute 1\/4 cup with broth<br \/>\nsalt<\/p>\n<p>Bring water\/broth to a boil and add in the kasha. Bring it back to a boil and reduce the heat to the lowest setting possible, so the ingredients only simmer. Let this sit, covered, for 10 minutes. <\/p>\n<p>After 10 minutes, all the water is simmered off and your kasha is done! <\/p>\n<p>For a less mushy consistency, try 1.5 cups of water to 1 cup of kasha, using the same method as before, except cook it for only 8 minutes instead of 10. <\/p>\n<p>Here, the grains are more defined and less mushy. It\u2019s sort of like risotto now. <\/p>\n<p>If you want the grains even MORE defined, try using just 1 cup of water to 1 cup of grain and let it simmer until the water is evaporated, which should be 6-7 minutes. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be honest &#8211; I did not enjoy this. The kasha flavor is very strong and the texture was not for me. To be fair, I did not grow up eating anything like this. That\u2019s not to say that you shouldn\u2019t try it &#8211; it\u2019s worth finding a way to enjoy it because it is so healthy. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth trying raw buckwheat groats, which is the same seed, but not toasted, cooked the same way. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth trying soaking buckwheat overnight like overnight oats. Soak half a cup of buckwheat in 1 cup of milk (any kind), with 1\/4 teaspoon of vanilla, honey or other sweetener to taste &#8211; overnight. In the morning, add fruit, dried or fresh, and nuts. The seeds are soft, but not mushy. A steady breakfast for controlling blood sugar and hunger throughout the day. <\/p>\n<p>Join my newsletter list at http:\/\/www.jennagedwards.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ij_d6osHYfA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] [ad_2] Nutty and gluten-free &#8211; try this curious pseudo-grain!
