1 cup orzo pasta
1 ½ cups vegetable broth (or homemade vegetable stock)
1 cup raw dried kasha, medium grind
1 large egg, beaten
2 medium carrots, grated in food processor
2 teaspoons butter or 2 teaspoons soy margarine

1
Cook the orzo in a large pan of boiling water until just al dente (see package directions for cooking time); drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again.

In the meantime, bring the vegetable broth to a simmer in a small saucepan.

While the orzo is cooking, mix the kasha and egg together in a mixing bowl; stir well to coat each grain.

In a large nonstick skillet over high heat, cook the egg-coated kasha, stirring constantly and scraping it up from the bottom, until the kernels are dry and separated and give off a nutty toasted aroma.
5
Slowly add the hot broth, stir well, and cover.
6
Cook for about 15 minutes or until the kasha is tender.
7
Stir in the orzo, carrots, margarine, and thyme.

Season to taste with salt and pepper; cover and let stand off the heat for 3 minutes.
9
Toss with the parsley and scallions; serve.
