INSTRUCTIONS
This favorite croquette recipe was given to me by a woman from France.
In a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, toast buckwheat groats,
stirring. until nutty aroma emerges from pan. Add water and salt, cover and
cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Transfer
buckwheat to bowl. Wash and dry skillet Add oil to skillet; set over
medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir 5 minutes, or until they are
limp and translucent. Add green onions and carrots; cook and stir 3
minutes. Combine with buckwheat. Add parsley, egg and enough flour to form
sticky dough; form into 4-inch croquettes. Dredge croquettes in flour. Coat
skillet with nonstick spray; set it over medium-high heat When skillet is
hot, add croquettes. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until brown. Turn and cook 3
to 5 minutes more. Makes about 8
