 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       pk           Frozen puff pastry sheets
                       -- 17 1/4 oz
  1       c            Onions, diced
  1       tb           Safflower oil
  3       c            Mushrooms, coarsely chopped
    1/2   c            Liquid egg substitute
  1       c            Kasha
  2       c            Vegetable broth
                       Salt & pepper
  1       t            Water
  1       tb           Poppy seeds

 Thaw pastry sheets according to package directions.
 Saute onions in oil in a large skillet until lightly browned.  Add
 mushrooms & cook until mushrooms are lightly browned.  Set aside.
 Place egg substitute in a bowl & toss the kasha in it.  Place tossed
 kasha in a large skillet with a tightly fitting cover.  Over high
 heat, flatten, stir & chop the kasha with a fork until the grains
 separate.  Remove from heat.
 Bring broth to a boil.  Slowly pour broth over the kasha, cover
 skillet, & cook over low heat until the liquid is all absorbed, about
 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
 Stir in onion-mushroom mixture, salt & pepper.  Cool to room
 temperature. Preheat oven to 350F & oil a cookie sheet.
 On a lightly floured board, roll one pastry sheet into a 11" X 14"
 rectangle.  Cut into 3" circles & place 2 ts filling in the centre of
 each circle.  Pull edges up around the filling, completely enclosing
 it.  Pinch dough together to form a tight package.  Turn packages
 over & place seam side down on a cookie sheet.
 Beat remaining egg substitute with water to make an "egg wash".  Brush
 each knish with this wash & sprinkle with poppy seeds.  Repeat with
 remaining sheets of dough.
 Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.  Serve warm or at room
 temperature.
