Buckwheat Beef Patties Recipe

Prepare the Buckwheat

Rinse 1 cup of buckwheat under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the buckwheat with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the buckwheat is tender and water is absorbed. Let it cool slightly.

Mix the Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cooked buckwheat, 500g of ground beef, 1 finely chopped onion, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 egg, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Form the Patties

With your hands, shape the mixture into 8-10 patties, ensuring they are compact and even in size.

Cook the Patties

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.

Serve

Serve hot with your choice of sides such as a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or in a bun as a burger.
