Kasha Salad with Hazelnuts and Feta
- 3/4 cup kasha
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup hazelnuts
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Kosher salt
- 1 medium carrot, finely grated
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped
- 3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix the kasha and egg white together in a small bowl until the kasha is well coated.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the kasha mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the grains soften and separate and the egg adheres to the grains and dries out, about 3 minutes.
- Let cool completely.
- Spread the hazelnuts out on to a baking sheet and bake until golden and toasted, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board and cool.
- Rub the skins off the nuts with a kitchen towel, then coarsely chop the nuts.
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Add the kasha, bring back to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until most of the water is absorbed and the kasha is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Spread the grains out on a baking sheet to cool.
- Whisk together the vinegar, oil, honey and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Add the cooled kasha, hazelnuts, carrot, parsley and feta and gently stir to combine.
- Serve at room temperature.
