Briefly boil the buckwheat in 280g of water and let it swell. Sauté the leek for about 5 minutes until it softens slightly. Then add the tofu and simmer for another 3 minutes to reduce the moisture. Transfer everything to a bowl. Mash the tofu with a fork. Finely chop the olives, add the savory seeds, leek, herb salt, sugar, and ground pepper to the buckwheat flour. Mix with a fork, mashing the mixture a bit. This will tell if the mixture is moist enough; add a little dry red wine or water if necessary. Be careful! Not too much. Season to taste and add salt if necessary. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the flour to swell. With wet hands, form patties and fry on both sides in hot oil over low heat (I used 3 out of 9).
