Recipe Description

This **Spinach Pancakes Recipe** is a savory and nutritious twist on traditional pancakes. With spinach blended into the batter, these pancakes are not only packed with vitamins and minerals but also have a vibrant green color that makes them visually appealing. Serve them with your favorite toppings, whether it’s a dollop of sour cream, avocado, or a sprinkle of cheese, for a delightful breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

  • For the Pancakes:
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
    • 1 egg
    • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, add the spinach, milk, egg, and olive oil (or melted butter). Blend until smooth and well combined.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
  3. Pour the wet spinach mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still have some lumps.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning the pancakes.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Make the marinade by mixing all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the meat to the bowl and mix so that it is well covered. Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge for at least 2 hrs, overnight if you have time. Drain the meat, reserving the marinade. Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat until just smoking, then add the meat – be careful, the oil might splutter. Cook as quickly as possible, tossing it until the meat is browned on all sides. Add the red onion and cook for 1 min. Add the tomato and chilli, then immediately spoon in the Pisco. Pour over the reserved marinade and chilli paste, stir well, turn off the heat and leave the meat to rest in the sauce for a couple of mins. Garnish with coriander and serve with chunky chips, if you like.

Steak with pizzaiola sauce

Make the sauce. If using fresh tomatoes, roughly chop them. Place in a pan with the garlic, oil, oregano or marjoram and season to taste. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins, stirring once or twice. Take off the heat, stir in the basil, then set aside. When ready to serve, heat a heavy-based frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising. Smear the oil on both sides of the steak and season each side. Slap the steak into the centre of the pan and adjust the heat to medium-high. Cook for 6 mins, turning halfway through – this is for medium rare. For a medium steak, allow 7-8 mins in total, allow 8-10 mins for well done. Remove from the pan to a warm platter and leave to stand for 5 mins. Cut in two and serve drizzled with any juices and topped with the sauce.

Sweet & sour chicken adobo

Heat half the oil in a large pan. Put the chicken in a large bowl, season well and toss through the cornflour, then cook in batches until browned all over (don’t overcrowd the pan or the chicken won’t brown). Tip each batch straight into the slow cooker as you go, adding a little more oil to the pan if you need to. Add the onion, garlic and peppers, cook for a few mins to just soften, then add these to the slow cooker too. If there is any cornflour remaining in the bowl, add a drop of the coconut milk and swirl it around, then pour into the slow cooker. Add the remaining coconut milk, the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and bay leaves, season with plenty of black pepper, then heat the slow cooker to Low, cover with the lid and cook for 5-6 hrs until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened. (If you don’t have a slow cooker, tip the ingredients back into the pan, cover and cook for 11/2-2 hrs, stirring every now and then to prevent it from catching, and adding a splash of water if the stew looks dry.) If the sauce in the slow cooker is too thin, thicken it with the remaining cornflour. Mix 1-2 tsp cornflour with 1-2 tsp cold water to make a paste, ladle 2-3 spoonfuls of the sauce into a saucepan and bring to says a simmer, then stir in the cornflour paste and cook for 1-2 mins to thicken. Stir back into the slow cooker and cook on High for 10 mins more. Serve with rice and stir-fried veg.
