Chicken and Buckwheat Patties (Kotleti)
Description
The Chicken and Buckwheat Patties combine cooked buckwheat and ground chicken with finely chopped broccoli, sautéed spinach, minced onion, egg, sour cream (or mayo), and breadcrumbs for binding and flavor. The ingredients are mixed thoroughly, formed into oval patties, then coated with Italian-style breadcrumbs before being pan-fried in oil over medium heat.
The patties cook by frequent flipping until fully done. Using vegetables like broccoli and spinach contributes moisture and subtle earthiness, while the buckwheat adds a soft yet slightly chewy texture. The breadcrumb coating crisps nicely during sautéing, contrasting the tender interior.
These patties suit servings alongside salads, steamed vegetables, or potatoes. They can also be part of sandwiches or eaten cold as a portable protein option.
