Kasha Breakfast Porridge
4

Serves 3 to 4

While hot breakfast cereal takes many forms, this version featuring kasha is perfect for kick-starting your day. Kasha, or roasted buckwheat, is the edible fruit seed of a plant related to rhubarb and, despite the name, is not related to wheat at all and is, in fact, gluten-free.
