Pea Pancakes
If you've never tried savory pea pancakes before, you're in for a treat! They're high in protein, low in carbs, and so moist in texture. I recommend serving with salmon.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shelled fresh peas, (or frozen peas, thawed)
- ¾ cup egg substitute, (or 3 eggs)
- 1 cup 2% cottage cheese
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 scallions, (thinly sliced, divided)
- Cooked salmon or smoked salmon, (flaked — optional)
- Butter for serving, (optional)
Instructions
- If using fresh peas, cook in boiling water for about 3 minutes until tender and drain. If using frozen peas, thaw but do not cook.1 cup shelled fresh peas
- Purée eggs, cottage cheese, flour, olive oil, and salt in blender or food processor until smooth. Transfer the batter to a bowl and stir in the peas plus about ¾ of the scallions.¾ cup egg substitute, 1 cup 2% cottage cheese, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, 5 scallions
- Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Once hot, remove from heat to spray with cooking spray, then return to the burner.
- Pour the batter, ¼ cup at a time, onto the griddle.
- Once the pancakes have set on the bottom, flip and cook until golden brown and done in the middle. Transfer to a platter and keep warm while you make the remaining pancakes.
- Repeat until you’ve used all the batter, respraying with cooking spray between each batch.
- Serve pancakes with salmon and butter on top. Garnish with remaining scallions.Cooked salmon or smoked salmon, Butter for serving
