In a food processor, pulse the carrot, onion and celery until finely chopped.  
In a large, heavy saucepan or small Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Stir in the chopped vegetables.  Saute until soft for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.  
Mix the kasha into the sauteed vegetables.  Stir until fragrant and slightly darker in color, 1 to 2 minutes.  Pour in the broth.  Cover the pot tightly.  
When liquid boils, reduce heat and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.  
Turn off the heat and let pilaf sit 5 minutes.  Fluff with a fork.  Add salt and pepper as desired and serve.
