To make the buckwheat meatballs, you’ll need:
– 1 cup buckwheat groats
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 onion, finely diced
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 egg
– Salt and pepper to taste
To start, place the buckwheat groats in a pot and cover with water. Bring the water to the boil and simmer until the groats are soft and tender, about 20 minutes. Once cooked, allow the groats to cool before combining them with the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
Next, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. You should be able to make around 20 meatballs. Season with a little extra salt and pepper if needed.
To grill the zucchini, you’ll need:
– 2 medium zucchinis
– 1 tsp olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Cut the zucchinis into 1/4 inch slices and brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Season with salt and grill over medium heat for around 5-7 minutes on each side, or until tender and slightly charred.
Once the zucchini is done, you can add the meatballs to the grill. Use a non-stick grill pan or grilling mesh to prevent the meatballs from sticking. Grill the meatballs, turning occasionally, for around 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked.
To serve, arrange the meatballs and zucchini on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs. This recipe is perfect as a main course, appetizer, or snack. You can also serve the meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce or combine with your choice of side dish.
