6 servings

45 minutes

You can make very tasty full-fledged cutlets from buckwheat porridge: in color, taste and smell they will be exactly like a beef burger. You just need to choose the right additives: we take fried onions and mushrooms, it is not for nothing that they are called vegetable meat. It is convenient that you do not have to watch whether the buckwheat porridge is overcooked or not. Overcooked even sticks better. If the porridge still does not want to stick together in the absence of eggs, just grind all the ingredients, including greens, at once in a meat grinder - this will add plasticity to the minced meat.
