- 1 piece Carrot Grated coarsely.
- 1 piece Egg To bind the ingredients.
- to taste Salt Enhances flavor.
- to taste Pepper Add for a kick.

Method
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.- 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.
- 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.
- Forming the Mixture. In a large bowl, combine the cooled buckwheat, sautéed vegetables, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Shaping the Patties. From the mixture, form small patties and coat each in breadcrumbs for a crispy crust.
Frying. Heat a pan with oil and fry the patties on medium heat for 3–4 minutes on each side until evenly golden brown.
Place the cooked patties on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve hot with sour cream, your favorite sauce, or fresh vegetables.
