Hi!
As I mentioned yesterday, I went out for lunch with my friend today at the Northumberland Arms. I had seafood Thermidor and Parmesan fries. It was gorgeous! But I definitely ate too much and as I can't actually do any proper exercise at the minute due to a broken toe I seriously need to kerb the calorie intake now!
I'm thinking I'll make a savoury pancake for supper and have it with a green salad dressed simply with some red wine vinegar and Maldon salt.
Ingredients
I'm going to use a basic pancake batter:
100g plain flour
2 eggs
300mls semi skimmed milk
Pinch of salt
2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
80g feta cheese, crumbled but not too finely (I actually used low fat Greek salad cheese)
About 8 basil leaves chopped
Chilli flakes to taste
Ground black pepper
Approx. thumb sized piece of chorizo, chopped
This recipe can easily be halved.
Method
Mix up the pancake batter to a smooth consistency, then add the rest of the ingredients except the chorizo.
Fry off the chorizo until the fat has rendered. Remove from the pan and add to the batter. Remove the oil too so that you can use it to fry the pancakes in. If there's not enough, you'll need to add a little extra oil. I used a little fry light to save on calories.
Add a ladle of batter to the pan. Enough to cover the pan and make a thin pancake (don't make it too thick as it'll be harder to flip over). When it's bubbling check that it's nicely coloured underneath and turn it over.
Fold it up on your plate with your salad and drizzle with some balsamic syrup, if you have it.
Sorry, I forgot to take a pic before I started tucking in!
Bon appetit!
Yum!!
