For a fabulous flavour in the patty itself, add as many of the spice mix ingredients as you have on hand – this way you will avoid additives that lurk around in pre-made spice and packet mixes. You can use raw or activated buckwheat groats in this recipe. As for the mayonnaise, organic or homemade are best and pickles, for best probiotic benefit, should be fermented using a water and salt solution instead of a vinegar and sugar mix. You can cook these on a barbecue and skip the frying part.
