👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Cook the buckwheat groats: Rinse the buckwheat thoroughly. Combine buckwheat and water (or broth) in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the buckwheat is tender. Fluff with a fork and let it cool slightly.
💡 Pro Tips: Ensure the buckwheat is cooked until tender but not mushy, as it will be formed into patties. - 2
While the buckwheat cooks, prepare the mushroom and onion mixture. Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
💡 Pro Tips: Cooking the mushrooms until their moisture evaporates helps prevent the patties from becoming too wet. - 3
In a large bowl, combine the cooked buckwheat, the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture, the beaten egg, 2 tablespoons of flour, chopped parsley or dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape.
💡 Pro Tips: If the mixture seems too wet, add another tablespoon of flour. If too dry, add a splash of water or broth. - 4
Form the patties: Take about 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape it into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Lightly coat each patty with a little flour.
💡 Pro Tips: Wet your hands slightly if the mixture is sticky. - 5
Heat the remaining 1-2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
💡 Pro Tips: Avoid overcrowding the pan; fry in batches if necessary. - 6
Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs. They are delicious served with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
💡 Pro Tips: These patties can also be baked at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, for a healthier option.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Using a mix of mushrooms will provide a more complex flavor profile.
- ✓For a vegan version, omit the egg and use a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 minutes) and ensure you use vegetable broth.
- ✓These patties can be made ahead of time and reheated in a skillet or oven.
