Ingredients

Serves:

3/4 cup walnuts

1 cup coarse kasha (roasted buckwheat groats)

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 2/3 cups boiling hot water

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 large (8 oz) red onion, cut lengthwise into ½-inch thick wedges

4 medium carrots (8 oz), cut on the diagonal into 1/3-inch thick slices

12 ounces cherry tomatoes

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 large garlic clove

1/3 cup chopped flat=leaf parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 450F with rack in the middle.

Stir together kasha and egg until coated well, then cook in a dry medium (2 to 3 quart) saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until grains smell toasty and begin to separate, 1 to 2 minutes. Add boiling water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer, covered, until kasha is just tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes.

While kasha cooks, toast walnuts in oven on a 4-sided baking sheet until fragrant and just a shade darker, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a work surface to cool then coarsely chop and set aside. Wipe out sheet pan.

In same sheet pan, toss onion and carrots with 2 Tablespoons oil and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast, stirring halfway through until vegetables just begin to get tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Toss tomatoes with 1 Tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and add to vegetables in oven and continue to roast until tomatoes begin to wilt (but don't fall apart), 6 to 8 minutes more. Sprinkle balsamic vinegar over vegetables and shake pan, then continue to bake until vinegar evaporates by about half, 3 to 5 minutes.

Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt and add to a large bowl along with roasted vegetables, kasha, walnuts, and parsley. Toss gently to combine and adjust seasoning if necessary.
