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.

Tips:

  • Prep your Swiss chard properly: To ensure the best texture and flavor, wash and thoroughly dry the Swiss chard before chopping it. Removing excess moisture will help the pancakes crisp up nicely.
  • Use a variety of greens: Feel free to mix and match different types of greens in your pancakes. Spinach, kale, or arugula would all be great substitutes for Swiss chard.
  • Don't skip the cheese: The cheese adds a delicious richness and creaminess to the pancakes. If you're looking for a vegan option, you can use a plant-based cheese or nutritional yeast.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning. Be patient and let them cook for a few minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: These pancakes are delicious with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Conclusion:

With their vibrant green color, savory flavor, and fluffy texture, Swiss chard pancakes are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They're also incredibly versatile, so you can easily customize them to your liking. Whether you prefer them plain or topped with your favorite ingredients, these pancakes are sure to be a hit.
