Vegan Curried Buckwheat Burgers

This is a fantastic recipe to rival even some of the finest burgers, vegetarian or otherwise. In this recipe we will be using the nutritious wonder food "Buckwheat". This has a fantastic nutty flavour and is bursting with goodness. You can pick up buckwheat in most supermarkets in ready to cook pouches or at specialist food shops. This recipe uses the roasted version, however either will do. The combination of the nuttiness from the grain and the curried vegetables really works well here is sure not to disappoint.
