Here is a savoury choice instead of the sweet varieties of pancake often eaten on Shrove Tuesday. It is a Moroccan themed meal.
Ingredients
Pancake batter
2 large eggs
150g of plain gluten free flour mix
75g of maize flour
500ml lactose free milk
Salt to taste.
Filling
Spinach (1 bag)
1 flat spoon of Moroccan spice mix (check for fodmaps)
1 teaspoon of oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt
Topping
6 carrots
Handful of coriander leaves
Salt
2 cooked chicken breasts
Method
Mix all the pancake ingredients together till smooth
Leave in the fridge of at least 2 hours
Fry thin discs of the batter in a frying pan.
Filling
Wilt the spinach in boiling water.
Fry the spice in the oil to release the flavour and add the lemon juice and salt.
Drain the spinach in a colander and blend with the spice mix in a blender.
Topping
Slice and cook the carrot till soft.
Drain and add coriander leaves and salt to taste
Blend till smooth.
Making up the pancakes:
Take a pancake and add some spinach, lay on the top sliced cooked chicken and some of the carrot mix.
Wrap the pancake up and add to a heatproof dish.
Repeat till the dish is full and spread the rest of the pureed carrot on the top.
Warm through and serve with a small amount of pomegranate seeds and alfalfa leaves.
These look so delicious and we’ll be trying them. Even though Shrove Tuesday has passed there’s no excuse for not eating pancakes all year round!
