Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup buckwheat groats under running water and place in a saucepan.
  2. Add 2 cups hot water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until tender, then cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer the cooled buckwheat to a bowl, add 1 tablespoon sour cream and 1 raw egg, and puree with a hand blender until smooth.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon flour and mix well.
  6. Boil 1 egg in a pot of water over high heat for 10 minutes to hard-boil it, then cool, peel, and cut into small cubes.
  7. Wash and finely chop 3 green onions. Mix with the egg cubes, salt to taste, and ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Take a portion of the buckwheat mixture, flatten it in your palm, add a spoonful of filling in the center, and mold into an oval zrazy.
  9. Dip the zrazy in the remaining flour (about 2 tablespoons) to coat all sides.
  10. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add the zrazy, and fry for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  11. Serve hot zrazy immediately.
