Cabbage & Spinach Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 small head white/green cabbage, very thinly sliced
  • Handful of baby spinach leaves
  • Handful of kale leaves, stalks removed and leaves cut into thin ribbons
  • 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • Unrefined sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tbsp. paleo-friendly flour such as coconut flour or ground almonds, you could also use ground flaxseeds/linseed
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • Optional: chopped fresh herbs such as basil or parsley
  • Fat for frying

Method

  1. Toss cabbage, spinach, kale, spring onions and fresh herbs if using together in a large bowl.
  2. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Toss the mixture with the flour so it coats all of the vegetables.
  4. Stir in the eggs.
  5. Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Coat the bottom with oil and heat that too.To make small pancakes, you can use tongs to deposit the batter in the pan to form 3 to 4 pancakes.
  6. Press down gently with a spatula so they flatten slightly, but no need to spread them much. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the edges brown. Flip the pancakes and cook
