Stir in water; bring to boil. Cover; simmer on medium-low heat 10 min. or until water is absorbed and kasha is tender.
• Spoon kasha into medium bowl. Add beans and onions; mix lightly.

FRITTATA WITH KASHA, LEEKS AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch, preferably nonstick skillet. Add leeks and cook, stirring, until they begin to wilt, about 3 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and continue to cook, stirring often, until leeks are soft and fragrant, 4 to 5 more minutes. Stir in baby spinach a handful at a time and turn up heat so that spinach wilts in liquid left on leaves after washing. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer contents of pan to a strainer and allow liquid to drip for 20 to 30 minutes, or longer. Rinse out and dry skillet and return to stove.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, milk, kasha, leek and spinach mixture, dill, Aleppo pepper and feta.
• Heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the 10-inch skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, pan is ready. Scrape in egg mixture. Swirl pan to distribute eggs and filling evenly over surface. Shake pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up edges of frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let eggs run underneath and form a few layers during first few minutes of cooking.
• Once a few layers of egg have set, turn heat down to very low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet), and cook 10 minutes, shaking pan gently every once in a while. From time to time remove lid and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a spatula, tilting the pan, so that more egg runs underneath.
• . Meanwhile, heat broiler. Uncover pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for 1 to 3 minutes, watching very carefully to make sure top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking, and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes and for up to 15. Loosen edges with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula. Carefully slide frittata from pan onto a large round platter or plate. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, room temperature, or cold.
