Buckwheat cutlets with tomato sauce — a true Ukrainian classic that combines the taste of childhood and the aroma of family evenings. This dish will not only give you satiety but will also enrich your gastronomic experience. This nutritious dish is perfect for those who appreciate the traditional taste of national cuisine. Thanks to the buckwheat and meat, the cutlets turn out juicy and tasty, while the tomato sauce adds piquancy and aroma. Making buckwheat cutlets doesn’t take much time and effort, and the result will delight even the most seasoned gourmets. Enjoy this simple recipe that is easy to prepare at home.


Mixed pork and beef mince can be used. Instead of tomato paste, use tomato juice or mashed tomatoes. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees instead of frying in a pan.


Chilled buckwheat mixes better with mince. Slightly fry the cutlets on high heat to hold the mince. Stewing under a lid on low heat makes them tender.


Cook the buckwheat in advance and cool before mixing. For breading, you can use semolina or breadcrumbs. Sour cream in the sauce softens the taste of the tomatoes.


Cutlets can be formed as patties or in a round shape. Dip your hands in water before shaping to prevent sticking. Best enjoyed with sour cream or fresh herbs.
