                       -Tofu and peanut sauce

  Cook the diced potatoes by modified boiling or by
 cooking them in a pressure cooker until they are
 tender. Keep warm until needed.

  While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a
 large skillet. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme. Saute
 for 2-3 minutes.

  Wash and drain the buckwheat; then add it to the
 skillet with the onions. Stir constantly for about 3
 minutes.

  Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the boiling
 water over the buckwheat. Then cover the skillet,
 return it to the heat, and simmer over low heat until
 the water is absorbed (about 20 minutes).

  Add the hot, cooked potatoes and toss lightly.

  Place each portion on an individual serving plate and
 cover it with sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley, if
 desired.

  Variations:

  Add about 1 pound of tofu, cut into small cubes,
 along with the potatoes. This addition goes best with
 the Tahini Miso Sauce.

  Serve with Ginger Tofu and replace the Tahini Miso
 Sauce or the Tofu and Peanut Sauce with the sauce from
 the Ginger Tofu recipe.
