Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 T roughly chopped dill
3 T roughly chopped mint
2 bunches Swiss chard, leaves removed from stems and leaves roughly chopped. (stems discarded or re-purposed)
1 cup chickpea flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon zest
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon finely grated garlic
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
dash cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
olive oil for pan frying

Steps:

  • 1) In a food processor, pulse dill and mint until finely chopped. Add Swiss chard leaves and pulse until finely chopped. 2) Remove 2/3 of this chard/herb mixture and set aside. 3) To the remaining 1/3 of the chard in the food processor, add the chickpea flour, baking powder, baking soda, eggs and water. Process 1 minute. 4) Scrape chard puree into the bowl with the chard/herb mixture. Add lemon zest, garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne, salt and pepper. 5) Put a tablespoon of this mixture into a small glass dish and microwave for 30 seconds. Taste and adjust for seasonings. 6) In a large non-stick pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat. When oil is hot, spoon in batter, making 3 to 4 fritters to the batch. Cook about 3 minutes per side, until lightly browned and cooked through. Use more olive oil as needed for remaining fritters.

These pancakes were a bit too bitter for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chard and more apples.

Loved these pancakes! The chard added a nice savory flavor, and the apples and cinnamon gave them a touch of sweetness. I served them with a side of bacon and eggs, and it was the perfect breakfast.

I'm not usually a fan of chard, but these pancakes were surprisingly delicious! The chard added a nice texture and flavor to the pancakes, and the apples and cinnamon gave them a warm, autumnal flavor.
