Instructions
Preparation
- 1In a large bowl, combine the cooked buckwheat groats, finely chopped mushrooms, finely chopped onion, chopped fresh dill, beaten egg, 2 tbsp flour, salt, and pepper.
- 2Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, forming a thick mixture. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour.
- 3Form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Lightly coat each patty in flour.
Cooking
- 1Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 2Carefully place the grechanyky patties into the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- 3Fry for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- 4Remove the cooked grechanyky from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Tips
- Cook the buckwheat groats in advance to save time during preparation. Ensure they are cooled before mixing.
- For an extra crispy exterior, ensure the oil is hot but not smoking before adding the grechanyky to the pan.
- Serve grechanyky hot, accompanied by a dollop of sour cream or a fresh herb yogurt sauce. They are also delicious with a side of pickled vegetables.
