Kümmelweck Rolls

Kümmelweck Rolls

3/4 cup warm water
1-1/2 tsp yeast
1-1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2-2/3 cups flour
2 tbsp powdered milk
2 tbsp melted butter
1 egg
coarse salt
caraway seed

Combine water, yeast and sugar.  Mix butter and egg; add to yeast mixture. Blend salt, flour and milk; add to yeast mixture. Knead until smooth and elastic (whatever that means).  Let rise twice in the bowl.

Divided into 6 pieces and shape into buns (if you have one of those hard rolls thingys, you can use that to make the swirly pattern in the rolls; otherwise, don't bother).

Let rise until puffy.  Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with coarse salt and caraway seed.  Bake 15 minutes at 425° F.

Buckwheat Veggie Burgers

Buckwheat Veggie Burgers

3 cups buckwheat groats
1 can chicken (or vegetable) broth
1 can chickpeas
1 onion, chopped
1 bag broccoli slaw mix
1 small zucchini, chopped
1/2 to 1 cup cornmeal

Cook the buckwheat groats in the chicken broth until soft. (It doesn't take long).

Pulse the chickpeas in the food processor and put in a large bowl. Add the onion, broccoli slaw, and zucchini and mix. Add the cooked buckwheat and mix well. (Best done with your hands.) You can also add some salt, pepper, or crushed red pepper if you like.

Add 1/2 cup cornmeal and keep mixing. Add more cornmeal until the mixture sticks together like ground beef.

Shape into patties and cook or freeze. I cook mine on a George Foreman grill, and it takes about 15 minutes. It will be a bit crispy on the outside. If it isn't a little crispy outside, it's probably pretty mushy inside.
