- Buckwheat (dry)100 g
- Onion100 g
- Chickpea flour (gram flour)40 g
- Rapeseed / sunflower oil20 g

Method
- Get ready: rinse the buckwheat, cover with 200 ml water, season lightly with salt and cook, covered, over low heat for 15 min until the water is absorbed. Spread it on a plate to cool.
- While the buckwheat cooks, rinse the beans and drain them well. Chop the onion and garlic very finely.
- Mash the beans with a fork and mix with the cooled buckwheat, onion, garlic, 40 g chickpea flour, thyme, smoked paprika, pepper and a little salt.
- With wet hands, shape into 8 patties. If you have time, chill them in the fridge for 15 min.
- In a frying pan, heat half the oil (1 tbsp, 10 g) over medium heat. Fry 4 patties for 4 min on each side until golden. Fry the rest the same way in the remaining oil.
- Meanwhile, finely slice the cabbage and grate the carrot. Season lightly with salt, rub with your hands until soft, and sprinkle with vinegar.
- Serve the patties with the cabbage salad.
Tips
- Drain the beans well – the drier the mixture, the firmer the patties.
- Chill the patties in the fridge for 15 min before frying – they won't fall apart.
- Coeliac? Choose buckwheat and chickpea flour labelled ‘gluten-free’.
- Want it hotter? Chilli or smoked paprika in the mixture.
