- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs such as thyme or oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For Buckwheat Garnish:
- 1 cup buckwheat groats

Instructions
For Meat Cutlets:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties or cutlets.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the cutlets in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. This takes about 4-5 minutes per side.
