Buckwheat And Meat Patties With Vegetable Salad Recipe

Buckwheat

1. Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water. 2. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed buckwheat and a pinch of salt, then reduce the heat to low. 3. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the buckwheat is tender but not mushy. 4. Drain any excess water and fluff the buckwheat with a fork before serving.

Meat Patties

1. Combine ground beef or turkey in a bowl with finely chopped onions, an egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and your preferred spices. 2. Mix well until evenly combined. Form the mixture into medium-sized patties. 3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they're cooked through and have a nice sear on the outside.

Vegetable Salad with Creamy Dressing

1. Wash and chop lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers to your desired size. 2. In a small bowl, mix together your choice of creamy dressing ingredients. Common options include mayonnaise, sour cream, a splash of milk, and spices like garlic powder, salt, and pepper. 3. Toss the vegetables in the dressing until they're evenly coated, and serve immediately for best freshness.
