To make Vegetarian Buckwheat and Mushroom Croquettes, you will need the following ingredients:
Place 1 cup of uncooked buckwheat in a saucepan of salted water. Cook over medium heat.
Transfer the cooked warm buckwheat to a food processor and blend until ground. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet. Add 1 diced onion and 1 grated carrot. Sauté for 5 minutes until soft. Add ½ pound of sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until minced. Add to the mixing bowl with buckwheat.
Add 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of semolina, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Stir well to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add some water 1 teaspoon at a time.
Wet your hands and form oval-shaped flattened patties (about the size of an egg).
Break an egg into a small bowl and beat with a fork. In a second bowl, add ¾ cup of bread crumbs.
Dip each patty into the beaten egg before dipping into bread crumbs. Place the croquettes on a plate or cutting board until ready to cook.
Place a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add ¼ inch of oil.
Place the croquettes in the skillet and cook in batches for 3 minutes on each side.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
