Mixed Veg Pancakes

It's been a while since I did a "What to do with a bag of mixed veg" post, but I was rooting about in the freezer wondering what to have for tea, when I found a tub of mixed veg in tomato sauce left over from a lasagne.

Pondering on what to make I decided on savoury pancakes.

They were blooming yummy, so in case you would like to make them for yourself, here s the recipe:

You will need:

• Wholemeal flour
• 1 egg
• Fizzy water or soda
• Salt & Pepper
• Dried chilli flakes
• Mixed Herbs

What you do:

• Shake a fistful of flour into a bowl.  (chuck away those scales and work by eye :)  )
• Add salt, pepper, chilli flakes and dried herbs.

• Make a well in the centre & drop in the egg.

• Stir, dragging the edges into the egg mix as you go.

• Add sploshes of fizzy water or soda, stirring in well, until the mixture resembles a porridge texture.

• Chuck in the mixed veg, and any left-overs in the fridge if you have them, I chucked in a bit of Quorn ham.

• Give it a stir, but not too vigorously to mush up the veg.

• Heat up some vegetable oil in a frying pan & drop in large blobs of the mix, spread it out a bit rather than leaving it too high so it cooks more evenly.

• Let it cook a while, the bottom has to be cooked before you can turn it over.
• Flip it gently & cook the other side.

• Serve with a blob of sweet chilli sauce - delicious!
