I have been so excited to post this recipe, it truly is so delicious and very moreish!
We really enjoyed eating these vegetarian burgers for our dinner. They really are packed with flavour, even if you are not a vegetarian I can guarantee that you will not miss any meat when you eat this meal!
You can either griddle/pan fry the mix into vegetarian patties that have a more softer texture and flavour (my hubby's favourite) or you can cook the mix in your oven for vegetarian burgers (my favourite). I have made both today to show you the difference. You can eat the burgers on a lovely bread roll with a dressing of your choice and salad, they taste just delightful! 
Ingredients
approx 2 Cups Buck Wheat
approx 1 Cup Green Split Peas
1 Red Pepper/Capsicum (diced very small)
1 Small/Medium Onion (diced very small)
2 Carrots (diced very small)
1 Green Chili (de-seeded + diced finely)
4-5 Small Garlic Cloves + 2Inch Fresh Ginger (chopped + blended together with a drop of water)
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Ground Coriander
1/4 tsp Turmeric
1/4 tsp Garam Masala
1/4 tsp Paprika
Salt
Ground Black Pepper
Ground Ground Oats

approx 1 Cup Green Split Peas
1 Red Pepper/Capsicum (diced very small)
1 Small/Medium Onion (diced very small)

First cook your carrots in some water until soft. Then rinse your buck wheat, bring to the boil in salted water then simmer for 5-6 minutes or until the wheat has gone soft and swells - drain and leave to the side. Rinse your split peas put them into your pressure cooker with some water, bring to the boil then turn heat right down and cook for 7-10 minutes - drain and again leave to the side.

Split Peas
Put your oil in a pan with your onions and fry for a few minutes _ you don't want to brown them and fully cook them! You just want them slightly cooked so they don't have that 'raw onion' taste in your burgers/patties. Turn the heat right down then add your garlic/ginger and all your powdered spices apart from paprika and black pepper - turn off the heat.
Blend/grind up all your split peas and 3/4 of your buckwheat. Place into a bowl add some salt and black pepper to season, mix well.

Now stir your green chilli's, carrots and diced red pepper/capsicum into your spiced onion. Mix well then add to your bowl of buckwheat and mix well again.
Add the rest of your buck wheat (don't blend them you want the texture as it is). Mix well. You can cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge now for approx 20-30 minutes, longer if you like.
Put some ground oats into a bowl.
Take some of your vegetarian burger mix into your hands and shape into patties. Place them gently into your ground oats then turn and coat them on the other side.
For the softer textured vegetarian pattie, place on a lightly greased griddle/frying pan. Let them cook for a few minutes before you try to turn them over. You can shape the patties with your spatula as you cook them also.
Cook until browned on both sides.
To make your vegetarian burgers pre- heat your oven to 200C. Lightly grease a baking tray.
You can make the pattie shapes or make the mix into round shaped balls for the oven - either way both will turn into burgers in the oven in the same way! So do which ever you find easiest.
I made both balls and pattie shapes.
After 10-15 minutes your burgers will all look the same, they will have cooked almost like cookies look.
Turn them all over then place back in the oven for 5 minutes or until browned a little more.
Now your vegetarian buck wheat burgers are ready to eat.
Serve on bread, with salad or just as they are. We ate ours with a beetroot salad.:) They are just simply delicious no matter how you eat them. So whether you prefer Jeenas Vegetarian Buck Wheat Burgers or Patties, Enjoy!

Lovely Veggie patties Jeena...Nice recipe...Buck wheat sounds new to me...Where do u get it?
I love the look of your patties. ANd the step-step instruction is very helpful, too.
Thats a great whole grain burgers. Guess I will just munch on those for a evening snack. I never cooked Buckwheat, always wondered what to do with it. Looks nice and pearly after cooking.
I have some rolled oats, I don't like the porridge. Do you have any recipes, preferrably low fat. I am sure you do. Help me pleazzzze
Lovely veggie burger. When i was a teenager we used to go to a coffee shp and eat a lot of these patties, but then it was made without the split peas.
As always the step by step pic is great
