Carrot and Kaffir Lime Pancakes with Hummus and a Chickweed and Watercress Salad

½ cup of packed coriander chopped roughly
100 gms chickpea/besan flour
¼ cup quinoa flakes
1 tspn baking powder (gluten free)
2 egg yolks lightly whisked
½ cup milk
1 Tbs tomato chutney (gluten free)

To Serve

Small bunch of watercress and chickweed
Hummus (homemade or store bought)

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined and a thick batter forms
Allow the mixture to stand for approximately 30 mins
Heat a non stick frying pan over a medium heat
Spoon a generous tablespoon of the mixture in the frypan to make a pattie shape and fry on both sides until golden.
Repeat with the remaining mixture.

To assemble

Place two pancakes on a plate and top with a generous dollop of hummus before adding a serving of salad to the top of the hummus

    Hi Sherilyn, I love your style of cooking! It suits me to a tea :) Every single recipe you've posted up is beautiful! Looks like there a few things I must try besides these gorgeous savoury pancakes (like your millet bars, brazil nut balls and pecan+strawberry friands! Yum yum :)

  9. These look absolutely delicious! I was jut curious--is there anything that could be subsituted for the quinoa flakes? I can't imagine using a whole box of them (so it probably wouldn't be worth buying it), but would love to make these pancakes!
