Description A perfect side dish for anything with gravy


Notes I had never made this and, after many years of cooking, a friend asked if I had a recipe for "kasha and bows". The recipe that I found sounded so good that I made it and have been making it ever since. This recipe is from a cookbook published by the synagogue in Hull, MA in 1980. This picture of it in a foil pan for storing and then heating for the holiday.
