Kasha Knish

Cultural Context

Kasha Knish has its roots in Eastern European Jewish cuisine, often enjoyed as a hearty snack or meal. Traditionally, these pastries are filled with a savory mixture of kasha (buckwheat), potatoes, and onions, reflecting the resourcefulness of Jewish communities. Today, knishes have found a place in delis and homes across the United States, celebrated for their comforting flavors and versatility.

Servings4
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 egg
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion (diced)

1 1/2 cups mashed potatoes (from about 2 medium potatoes)
1 egg for egg-wash
1

Add all the wet ingredients to a bowl and mix well.

2

In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients until well combined and a dough forms.

3

Knead dough well for 5-10 minutes. Put the dough in an oiled bowl and cover. Fridge the dough for one hour.

4

In a pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the diced onion. Fry on medium-low heat for 45 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.

5

Remove the onion and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the kasha, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

6

Add 1 cup of water, bring to a boil and cover. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.

7

In a bowl combine the kasha, onions, and mashed potatoes. Stir well.

8

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Put the filling across the dough longways 2 inches from the bottom.

9

Egg-wash the bottom and top of the dough and roll longways. Roll the log so that it is closed tightly.

10

Use the palm of your hand to create dents in the log every 2 inches. Use a knife to cut where you dented.

Face the dough upwards so the open part is facing up. Use your thumbs to push the dough into the center.

Put on a baking sheet and egg-wash generously. Preheat oven to 375F.
