Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tb Oil
1 md Onion -- chopped
4 Garlic cloves -- minced
1 t Thyme
1 c Buckwheat
2 c -- water; boiling
2 md Potatoes -- scrubbed, diced
1 Recipe Tahini Miso Sauce OR
-Tofu and Peanut Sauce

Cook the diced potatoes by modified boiling or by
cooking them in a pressure cooker until they are
tender. Keep warm until needed.

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a
large skillet. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme. Saute
for 2-3 minutes.

Wash and drain the buckwheat; then add it to the
skillet with the onions. Stir constantly for about 3
minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the boiling
water over teh buckwheat. Thencover the skillet,
return it to the heat, and simmer over low heat until
the water is absorbed (about 20 minutes).

Add the hot, cooked potatoes and toss lightly.

Place each portion on an individual serving plate and
cover it with sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley, if
desired.

Variations:

Add about 1 pound of tofu, cut into small cubes,
along with the potatoes. This addition goes best with
the Tahini Miso Sauce.

Serve with Ginger Tofu and replace the Tahini Miso
Sauce or the Tofu and Peanut Sauce with the sauce from
the Ginger Tofu recipe.
