  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Fry the patties.

  • Rinse the lentils, put them in a bowl, and add a little water. Leave them to soak while you turn to the buckwheat. Cook 1 cup of buckwheat in 2 cups of salted water, simmering until almost all the water has evaporated. Now back to the soaked red lentils — they need to be cooked too. Put them in a pot and simmer until soft and tender. Drain off most of the water, keeping just enough for a purée. Mash the lentils right in the remaining water, then mix the lentil purée with the cooked buckwheat. Grate the carrots and add them to the mixture. Sprinkle in the breadcrumbs and add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the spices and dried, chopped herbs. Stir and taste; if something's missing, add more — it's that simple. Grease a skillet with oil and fry the lean patties shaped from the lentil-buckwheat mixture. Flip them and keep cooking until all the patties are browned and done.
  • For all the secrets of cooking buckwheat and how to choose a good one, see the article "Everyday buckwheat — do we really know all about it?"
  • Important: the wrong skillet can spoil even the best recipe, so it pays to pick the right pan for the dish.
  • All oils are only good up to a certain point — the smoke point, where the oil starts to burn and forms toxic compounds, including carcinogens. For how to gauge frying temperature and pick the best oil (and which to avoid), see a dedicated guide.
