Recipe Introduction

I suspect you could make this with plums with good results as well. Serves 6.

List of Ingredients

4 tablespoons CF margarine
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 medium apple, cored and chopped
3 green onions, washed, trimmed, and thinly sliced
1 cup buckwheat (I prefer untoasted by kasha is okay too)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
Small handful of mint, chopped (optional, my children don't like this)


Recipe

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat add 3 tablespoons of the margarine, the curry powder, and a couple generous pinches of salt, and cook for a minute or until the spices are fragrant. Stir in the chopped apple and cook for about 3 minutes, enough time for the apples to soften up a bit and absorb some of the curry. Scoop the apples from the pan and set aside in a separate bowl.

In the same pan, again over medium-high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of margarine. Stir in the green onions, let them soften up a bit and then add the water and salt. Bring to a boil, stir in the buckwheat, cover and remove from heat. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes and then use a fork to fluff up the grains. Stir in the apples, pine nuts, and chopped mint. Season with more salt and curry powder to taste.
