Potato and Squash Pancakes

Hi all
Here's another Veggie based dish I've tried today.
It's quite delicious and very easy to make
I got this off a vegetarian post and I have slightly adapted Michelle style again


so here are the ingredients and directions

ingredients

250g potato, cooked and mashed

250g pumpkin, cooked and mashed

30g butter or vegan spread

3 spring onions

2 eggs, lightly beaten or egg substitute

1/4C plain flour

2 Tblsp self raising flour

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

pinch of cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp salt

extra butter or spread to grease pan

directions

1. Puree the pumpkin and potato in a food processor with the butter until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and add eggs and spring onions.

2. Sift in flours, spices and salt and combine.

3. Heat extra butter/spread in a pan and cook heaped tablespoons of the mixture for 2-3 mins on each side. Repeat until all batter has been used.

4. Serve with salad and your choice of topping eg butter/spread, chutney, sour cream, yoghurt etc.

5. This recipe was from The Essential Vegetarian Cookbook. Enjoy.

Ok so how did I change this.. I used spelt flour instead and 1/12 teaspoon baking powder. 

I also used butternut squash not pumpkin as it's not easy to get pumpkin here

I used 4 spring onion and 2 Tbsp of finely chopped chives

I used 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to give it a bit more bite... 

I will be serving this with a basic garden salad and bit of sour cream... 

In future recipes I will add peas or corn or both to create more of a vegetable pancake

I will also be trying with some fresh chilli through it 

This recipe really is quite versatile so have a bit of a play with it and give it a try 

Hope you enjoy
