Kasha
Kasha is considered as one of the most common dishes in Russian cuisine, known since times immemorial.  Kasha is not only oatmeal; it is everything that is made of whole grains (buckwheat, oats, wheat, millet, barley, rice, etc) as the main ingredient. As a result, there are so many varieties to prepare and different ways to serve it. It might be cooked in the morning for breakfast or served as a side dish or even as a main meal in the evening. There are tons of recipes but here I would like to share with you the easiest ones.
