Ok, you NEED to try this recipe ASAP! These savoury smoked salmon pancakes are to die for. Imagine fresh hummus, a touch of zesty lemon, and those delicious little capers all blended together in a mouth-watering pancake shell topped with fresh, organic and home-grown pea shoot microgreens from Gift-a-Green. This delicious little dish can’t be made anywhere but home.

 

Ingredients

3 large eggs (organic)

3 Tbsp chopped chives

2 tsp lemon zest

2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup cottage cheese

1 minced garlic clove

1 cup Gift-a-Green chopped pea shoots (microgreens)

1/2 cup chickpea flour

1/2 tsp Himalayan rock salt

Fresh Smoked Salmon – as much as you prefer  : ) 

 

Directions:

In a medium-size bowl, mix together the eggs, cottage cheese, oil, flour, garlic, lemon zest, and salt. You can also mince up a small bundle of the pea shoots for extra flavour.

Using medium heat, lightly grease up your pan or skillet. Once your pan is ready to go, add batter (1/4 cup at a time) to pan and fry the pancakes until bubbles form on top, usually about 2 to 3 minutes (watch closely so they don’t burn).

Flip and fry the other side until the pancakes are a light to medium brown on the bottom (make sure the center is cooked thru).

After they are all prepared serve with fresh smoked salmon, a dollop of cream cheese your favourite wine and don’t forget to call up your bestie.
