  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Rinse the buckwheat well under cold water.

  7. Cook the chicken patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  8. In a separate bowl, toss the romaine, tomato, and cucumber with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  9. Divide the buckwheat between plates, add the chicken patties, and serve with the fresh salad on the side.

Notes

  • Use chicken broth for extra flavor in the buckwheat.
  • For crispier patties, press them lightly while cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
