1 or 2 very large onions (vidalia or spanish)
1 1/4 cup buckwheat groats
1 egg, beaten
Oil
1 1lb package of small bow ties
2 cups water

Dice onions into 1/4 dice. Sautee onions in a frying pan with a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. When brown, place into large casserole.
Boil bow ties according to package directions. Drain well.
Place buckwheat groats into a bowl with the beaten egg, and mix well. Put the frying pan from the onions on a high heat and when hot, put in egg-coated buckwheat groats. Keep stirring with a fork until the grains separate..........two to four minutes.
Boil the 2 cups of water. When the water boils, pour it into the pan with the buckwheat groats. Add salt to taste.
Cover the pan and take it off the heat.
When buckwheat groats are steamed through, add them to the onions. Add the drained bow ties. Season with salt & pepper.
