Kasha Veggie Burgers
 
  Ingredients  
 
1 cup   Whole kasha
1-1/4 cups   Red wine or vegetable broth
1-1/4 cups   Tomato juice
1 ounce   Butter
2 cups   Fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup   Finely chopped red, yellow and/or green bell pepper
1/2 cup   Finely chopped onion
1/2 cup   Finely chopped celery
2   Eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup   Barbecue sauce
1 ounce   Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1/2 cup   Fine-ground kasha
2 tablespoons   Vegetable oil
Recipe follows   Cucumber-Yogurt Dressing (optional)
 
 

 
  Method  
 
1.
  In a saucepan, cook and stir kasha until toasted, about 3 minutes. Add wine, tomato juice and butter; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Cool.
2.
  In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, bell pepper, onion, celery, eggs, barbecue sauce and Worcestershire, if using. Stir in cooled kasha.
3.
  To prepare each patty: Form about 3/4 cup kasha mixture into a 1/2-thick patty. Coat on both sides with fine-ground kasha. Chill until firm.
4.
  To cook patties: Over medium heat, heat oil in a large skillet (preferably nonstick). Cook patties until crisp and golden, about 8 minutes, turning once.
5.
  Serve burgers topped with Cucumber Yogurt Dressing or, if desired, on a bun with sliced onion and Cucumber-Yogurt Dressing or spicy barbecue sauce.
   
    Cucumber-Yogurt Dressing: Combine 1/3 cup plain low fat yogurt with 1/4 cup peeled, seeded and finely diced cucumber, 1/2 teaspoon garlic and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
     
    Kasha Loaf: Lightly spray inside of an 8- x 4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Dust pan with fine-ground kasha, tapping sides and bottom to remove excess. Prepare kasha mixture as described above; lightly pack in prepared pan. Bake at 350ºF until top is firm to the touch and loaf begins to pull away from sides, about 50 minutes.
