Steps:

• In a medium pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Immediately cover and turn off the heat. In a large skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium heat, add kasha and one-third of the beaten eggs. Stir, coating the kasha in the egg, and toasting the grains. Stir constantly, cooking until the egg is no longer visible. Add the just boiled broth and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the liquid has absorbed. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add butter. Once the butter has melted add onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion has softened, then add garlic. Cook garlic for a minute, until fragrant. Add the vegetable crumbles and cook just until hot. Add the scallions, Mexicorn, fire roasted tomatoes, kidney beans, lime, chili powder, cumin seeds and dry cumin, dry cilantro, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, tomatillo salsa and remaining eggs. Fold in the cooked kasha and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Scrape mixture into a lightly oiled 9 x 13 baking dish. Top the mixture with shredded cheese and bake, uncovered, for 40 to 45 minutes, until cheese is golden brown and bubbling. Allow to cool slightly before serving with additional tomatillo salsa.

Steps:

• Put onions in a large skillet with a lid over medium heat. Cover skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, until onion is dry and almost sticking to pan. Add fat or oil, raise heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is nicely browned, at least 10 minutes or so longer.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a separate, medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil, stir in the kasha and about a teaspoon of salt. Cover and simmer until kasha is soft and fluffy, about 15 minutes. Let stand, off heat and covered.
• Salt the large pot of boiling water and cook noodles until tender but still firm. Drain and combine with the onions and kasha, adding more fat or oil if you like. Season with salt and lots of pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine water, salt, and butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once it reaches the boil turn off heat and cover.
• Meanwhile, beat egg in a medium bowl and add kasha. Mix together until grains are thoroughly and evenly coated.
• Transfer to a medium-size, wide, heavy saucepan (I use Analon nonstick), place over high heat and stir egg-coated kasha constantly until grains are dry, smell toasty, and no egg is visible, 2 to 3 minutes. Add just-boiled water, turn heat to very low, cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes for cracked kasha, 30 minutes for whole kasha, or until all of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
• Remove lid from pan, place clean dish towel over pan (not touching the grains), and cover tightly. Let sit undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes. Fluff and serve.
