Buckwheat meatballs with mushrooms - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different grain instead of buckwheat?

Yes, you can substitute quinoa, brown rice, or even couscous for buckwheat. Keep in mind that the texture and flavor will change slightly.

What can I use if I don't have breadcrumbs?

Crushed crackers, rolled oats, or even ground nuts can be used as a substitute for breadcrumbs to coat the meatballs.

How long can I store leftover buckwheat meatballs?

Leftover buckwheat meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Can I freeze these buckwheat meatballs?

Yes, these meatballs freeze well! Let them cool completely, then freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag for longer storage (up to 2 months). Reheat in the oven or microwave.

How can I make this recipe gluten-free?

To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure you use gluten-free breadcrumbs or another gluten-free coating alternative. Also, double-check that your ketchup is gluten-free.

What are some good serving suggestions for these meatballs?

Besides serving with fresh vegetables, try serving them over mashed potatoes, pasta, or a bed of greens with a lemon-tahini dressing.

Can I bake these meatballs instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake them! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), place the breadcrumb-coated meatballs on a baking sheet, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.

What other vegetables can I add to the mushroom mix?

Diced carrots, celery, or bell peppers would be delicious additions to the mushroom and onion mixture. Sauté them along with the mushrooms and onions.

Can I make a bigger batch of these meatballs?

Yes! Simply double or triple all of the ingredients proportionally. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of the batch.
