The wow factor is off the chart for these delicious Buckwheat balls. My husband likes them a bit spicier than the recipe prescribes and I like them made up to the recipe listed here. But remember because it is a savory dish you can use herbs to change the flavor completely. Enjoy this great recipe!
Step 1
For the buckwheat balls, put 200 ml vegetable stock in a saucepan and season well with salt and pepper. Add the buckwheat and morels and bring to the boil, covered. When the broth is boiling, reduce the heat, remove the lid and simmer for approx. 15 minutes; Stir occasionally. After the 15 minutes put the lid back on, let it swell for 5 minutes and then let it steam out a little.
Step 2
In the meantime, for the savoy cabbage vegetables, heat 1 ½ tablespoons of oil in a wide pan and fry the mushrooms for 5 minutes; season with a little smoked salt. Then remove from the pan and place on a plate.
Step 3
Heat the pan again with 1½ tablespoons of oil, fry 1½ tablespoons of oil and the savoy cabbage with the chestnuts for approx. Then deglaze with vegetable stock and tamari; Season with nutmeg, smoked salt and pepper.
