Step 1

Add 125 grams of buckwheat to 250 grams of salted boiling water. Simmer until the buckwheat absorbs all the water. It usually takes 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

Transfer the cooked buckwheat to a large bowl and allow it to cool enough so you can handle it with your hands. Add the rest of the ingredients apart from the oil and using your hands, mix it well. You should have a sticky mixture that can now be shaped into buckwheat patties.

Step 3

From 125 grams of buckwheat, you can make either 8 small buckwheat patties or 4 buckwheat burgers. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and fry the buckwheat patties for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden.
