Gather @fresh parsley{2%tbsp}, @sunflower oil{3%tbsp} and @black pepper{}.

Simmer the @buckwheat groats{150%g} in salted water until tender, about 12 minutes, then drain and let cool to warm. ~{12%minutes}

Mix the cooked buckwheat into the @ground beef{400%g} with the @egg{1}, grated @onion{1}, @garlic{2%clove}, parsley, @salt{1%tsp} and pepper until evenly combined.

Shape into 8 patties about 2 cm thick, packing them firmly so they hold together.

Press each patty through the @breadcrumbs{40%g} to coat.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the patties 4-5 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms and the center is cooked through. ~{10%minutes}

Rest 2 minutes before serving. ~{2%minutes}

Serve hot with sour cream or a simple tomato salad.
