Directions

  1. Cook the buckwheat so that it remains in whole grains: pour it into twice its volume of hot, salted water, add butter (½ tablespoon per cup of buckwheat), and stir.
  2. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently, uncovered, over very low heat. After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 to 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the apples and mash them.
  4. Finely chop the onion and sauté it in a frying pan until softened.
  5. Combine the buckwheat, grated apple, and onion with the egg, starch, and flour. Add the chopped dill, salt, pepper, and thyme. ≈ 4 min
  6. Shape the patties, roll them in breadcrumbs, and fry them in a pan with oil until golden brown.
  7. Serve with a sauce made from plain yogurt, diced bell pepper, and cucumber. ≈ 2 min
