Method

Instructions
  1. Відваріть гречку в підсоленій воді до повної готовності
    Preparing the Buckwheat. Cook the buckwheat in salted water until fully done. Drain any excess water and let the buckwheat cool completely so it holds its shape well.
  2. Cooking the Vegetables. Peel and finely chop the onion. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the onion over medium heat until soft and slightly golden.
  3. Adding the Carrot. Grate the carrot coarsely or chop finely, add it to the onion, and continue to sauté for another 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly.
  4. Forming the Mixture. In a large bowl, combine the cooled buckwheat, sautéed vegetables, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  5. Shaping the Patties. From the mixture, form small patties and coat each in breadcrumbs for a crispy crust.
  6. Розігрійте сковороду з олією та обсмажуйте гречаники
    Frying. Heat a pan with oil and fry the patties on medium heat for 3–4 minutes on each side until evenly golden brown.
  7. Подавайте гарячими зі сметаною, сусосм або свіжими овочами
    Place the cooked patties on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve hot with sour cream, your favorite sauce, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

Chef’s Tips: Buckwheat patties pair deliciously with sour cream, yogurt-based, or light tomato sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2–3 days. To keep the patties from overcooking and ensure they remain juicy inside, fry them over moderate heat.
