Buckwheat patties with cheese
1
Buckwheat dumplings with cheese are a perfect example of a simple yet incredibly delicious dish of Ukrainian cuisine that requires only four main ingredients. Buckwheat, from which they are made, contains a high level of plant protein, making this dish nutritious. Hard cheese adds a rich, creamy taste, making the buckwheat dumplings even more appetizing. This dish goes perfectly with any hard homemade cheese, as well as more well-known Dutch varieties or even suluguni. One of the nicest aspects of these dumplings is their versatility: you can add finely chopped greens, fry them in a pan instead of baking, or even create a surprise by hiding a piece of cheese inside each dumpling.
Variations
- You can add finely chopped greens to the mass — parsley or dill
- Instead of baking, you can fry the dumplings in a pan on both sides
- Some prepare with a piece of cheese inside, flattening the mass on the palm
Secrets to tenderness and flavor
- Put all the ingredients into the ready hot porridge — this will help them mix better
- Do not mix the mass too long — it's enough to mix well until uniform
- Bake at 180 degrees to get a golden crust, but stay soft inside
Ingredient tips
- Select brown buckwheat groats — it cooks evenly in 15-17 minutes
- You can use any hard cheese — homemade, Dutch, cheddar, or suluguni
- Flour serves to bind the mass — buckwheat or wheat, whichever you find convenient
Minor culinary nuances
- Buckwheat doesn't contain gluten — this dish is safe for people with celiac disease
- Groats have antioxidants and minerals: iron, zinc, copper, manganese
- If buckwheat is left over from the previous day, it's perfect for this dish
