Buckwheat cutlets with parmesan and sour cream sauce are a harmony of Russian tradition and European taste. Buckwheat, an ancient and beloved grain of Russian cuisine, forms the base of tender cutlets enriched with parmesan. Potatoes add softness while onions provide a slight spiciness. Fried to a golden crust, they acquire an appetizing aroma and crispy texture. The sour cream sauce with gherkins, garlic, and herbs adds refreshing notes, making the dish even richer. These cutlets are versatile – suitable for both family dinners and festive tables. They can be served with vegetables, herbs or a light garnish. The combination of simple ingredients transforms into a culinary masterpiece where Russian traditions meet the sophistication of Italian cheese.
