Sand and Shells March 20th, 2007

2 tbsp olive oil
1 diced onion
1 cup cracked wheat
1 egg, beaten
2 cups water
12 oz. seashell pasta, cooked according to package directions
2 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil in large frying pan. Saute onions, then remove and set onions aside.

Mix cracked wheat into beaten egg and mix until coated. Pour into frying pan and cook until egg is done. Pour in water, add onions, salt and pepper and allow to simmer on low heat.

When the water has been absorbed, add in the sea shell pasta and butter. Mix and serve.

This recipe is related to varnishkas, a traditional Jewish dish. I like to call it Sand and Shells because the name is more appealling to children.

It makes a good main dish or side dishand all the ingredients are very cheap, so it’s kind to your budget.
