I have a delicious recipe for Spinach and carrot pancakes to share with you today from the team at Yondu
What is Yondu?
A versatile savoury seasoning that brings out the inherent flavour of your ingredients.
Natural umami from slowly fermenting and simmering vegetables gives delicate flavour and balance to your dishes.
Lets take a look at in action.
Spinach & Carrot Pancakes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4 (8 pancakes)
Yondu effect: Replaces salt or any other flavorings
Ingredients for Spinach & Carrot Pancakes:
- 125g flour
- 10g baking powder (2 teaspoons)
- 150 ml oat milk
- 2 Tablespoons Yondu Vegetable Umami 1 small carrot, peeled and shredded (50g) ½ small courgette, shredded (70g)
- 30g fresh spinach, chopped
- 20g sunflower seeds (2 tablespoons) Black pepper and olive oil
For the Spinach & Carrot Pancakes salsa:
- 1 large tomato
- A handful of parsley
- Half an onion
- A drizzle of Yondu
- A squeeze of lemon
- Take a bowl and add the flour, baking powder, oat milk and Yondu. Stir until combined and smooth. Mixture will look a little thick, this is normal.
- Add the shredded carrots, courgette, spinach, sunflower seeds, and black pepper (optional). Stir well and allow to rest for 4 minutes.
- Finely chop the tomato, onion, and parsley. Place in bowl, with a drizzle of Yondu and a tablespoon of olive oil. Toss gently and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice. Leave to the side.
- Over a medium-low heat, drizzle a few drops of olive oil into a skillet. Once hot, place two tablespoons of batter to the pan. Shape the edges to make the pancakes as round as possible and cook for 3 minutes on each side.
- Serve with the fresh parsley salsa
