Super spinach pancakes

Ingredients


  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 350 g mixed-colour cherry tomatoes
  • 100 g baby spinach
  • 3 spring onions
  • ½ a bunch of fresh coriander , (15g)
  • 1 lime
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 mug of self-raising flour
  • 1 mug of semi-skimmed milk
  • olive oil
  • 300 g cottage cheese
  • hot chilli sauce

Description

  1. Halve, destone, peel and finely slice the avocado and quarter the tomatoes, then place in a salad bowl with a quarter of the spinach.
  2. Trim, finely slice and add the spring onions and pick in the coriander leaves, then squeeze over the lime juice.
  3. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, toss to coat and put aside.
  4. Crack the egg into a blender, add the flour, milk, remaining spinach and a pinch of salt and pepper, then blitz until smooth.
  5. Place a large non stick frying pan on a medium heat, rub the pan with a little olive oil, then pour in a thin layer of batter, swirling it up and around the edges. Cook on one side only for 2 minutes, or until lightly golden, then stack up on a serving plate and repeat.
  6. Top each pancake with dollops of cottage cheese, the avocado salad, and a few good shakes of chilli sauce. Really nice served with extra lime wedges for squeezing over, and a fried egg on top, if you fancy.
