Rosa Flanagan: Leek and Mushroom Savoury Pancakes

One half of Two Raw Sisters, Rosa Flanagan joined Jack Tame to serve up a recipe for Leek and Mushroom Savoury Pancakes. 

 

Serves: 2 

Time: 20 minutes 

 

Ingredients: 

3/4 cup chickpea flour  

3/4 cup water  

1/4 cup plant based or dairy yoghurt  

1/2 tsp sea salt  

3 tbsp nutritional yeast or freshly grated parmesan  

1/2 tsp baking powder  

1/2 cup coriander, chopped  

 

1 tbsp cooking oil 

1 brown onion, diced  

1/4 leek, thinly sliced into rounds  

2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped  

1/2 tsp sea salt  

1 tsp ground cumin  

1 tsp ground turmeric  

3 white button mushrooms, cut into small pieces  

 

Method:  

In a bowl, add the chickpea flour, water, yoghurt and sea salt. Whisk everything together with a fork, until all of the clumps in the mixture are removed.  

Then add the nutritional yeast or parmesan, baking powder and coriander. Mix to combine and set aside.  

Heat the oil up in a non-stick fry pan and add the onion, leek, garlic, sea salt, cumin and turmeric. Sauté until the onions start to become translucent and then add in the mushrooms. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes.  

Add the onion mix to the chickpea flour mix, then mix to combine.  

Using the same pan, add 1 tbsp of cooking oil. Once hot, add 1/2 of the mixture and swirl around so that one big pancake is formed.  

Cook the pancake for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and continue the same cooking process for the remaining half of the mixture.  

Transfer the pancakes onto two individual plates and top with your favourite toppings. We are loving a combination of any of the following….. pesto, hummus, aioli, leftover roast vegetables, boiled eggs, avocado, smoked salmon, fresh greens, stir fried greens, herbs, pickles, tahini.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast
from News Talks at B.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I don't want to come it on, you want to.
It is thirday, mister ten. You were Jack Tame this
Saturday Morning on News Talks 'DB. So the Olympic opening
ceremony has wrapped up, goes on for a wee while

(00:34):
it was pretty dramatic in the end, but very shortly,
I'm going to tell you about all the Olympic events
you need to know about today. Basically, things kick off
from about seven o'clock New Zealand time tonight, so I'll
give you a rundown of the keys who are in
action this evening very shortly. Thanks for your feedback. We've
had heaps and heaps of texts about the best ads.
Come on, Jack, it's moments like these you need. Minty's
that was a great series of ads. Is there any

(00:55):
one Minty's ad that stands out though as being an
all time classic? Let me know your thoughts as well
as that if neither of those movie picks sound like
a bit of you. This weekend, we've got a couple
of TV shows we're going to tell about after ten
o'clock this morning, including the show Time Bandits, which is
kind of a remake of the eighties fantasy film but
Time Bandits is made and produced by Takeaway Tit and

(01:18):
Jermaine Clement. So yeah, it sounds really really interesting that
the little bits I've seen look great. So we're going
to tell you about that after ten o'clock this morning.
Right now, it is twelve minutes to ten, and Rosa Flanagan,
who is of course one half of two Raw Sisters,
is with us this morning. Hey Rosa, good morning, Jick.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
How are you.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I'm very well. Thanks. Are you into the Olympics?

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yes, I'm so excited for the Olympics. So I was
up this morning watching the opening ceremony.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Oh good job. What do you What was your take
on the opening ceremony, because I think it's dividing opinion
to be fair. Some people think it was the best ever.
Some people think it was the most French ever.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
To be honest, I'm more of a fan of the
opening ceremony in the stadium. I think that was a
lot is a lot stronger. Yeah, wea there was a
bit of a down buzz as well.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, it was a bit of an issue. Yeah, it
was kind of spread out. That was interesting a so
maybe maybe this way more people can see it because
it's kind of public. It was on the scene and
it was on the Champs. But then, yeah, that's a
very good point. Anyway, we're keeping things very French throughout
this morning, and I feel like today's recipe is very French. Indeed,
you've got a little mushroom savory pancake recipe.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, this is on our Turrosists app and it's been
actually one of the most popular recipes over the last
couple of months, which has been quite interesting. It's a
very it's a great recipe for an easy weeknight meal,
and I think it's great as well because it is
quite comforting too, and using those key pantry staple ingredients.
So the recipe, we've got today's sod, but you can

(02:47):
easily double triple it. So it's got chickpea flowers. It's base.
So chickpea flower is great because it's gluten free, time protein,
so we're using that. So we've got about three quarters
of a cup of chickpea flour and three quarters of
a cup of water, and then we've got some plant
based or dairy yoga in there. So you can use
coconut yogurt, Greek yogurt, but obviously wanting to stick with

(03:10):
the plain yogat, I'm not sure about having strawberry yogat
or very yogurt in most davory pancakes. And then we've
got some salt, and then we've got some nutritional yeast,
or you can use freshly grated parmesans. We've got three
tablespoons of that in there, baking powda. We've got half
a tea spoon, and then some chopped up coriander, or

(03:31):
you can use any herb that you want. So that's
kind of a batter mix, right that we mix up
in a bowl, and it's quite a quite a thick consistency,
I suppose, and then put that aside once you've mixed
it all up, and then in the pan, add some
cooking oil in there, and you've got an onion that
dice a brown onion. If you don't have a brown

(03:52):
onion at home, you can use a red onion if
you want to. And then we've got a leak. So
leak's in season at the moment, really cost effective, cheap,
really and so delicious. And I think you know the
classic cheese and white sauce is something you know everyone
kind of maybe tends to lean towards, but it's amazing

(04:13):
how you can actually utilize it in lots of different ways.
So we've got some leak thinly sliced into just rounds,
a little bit of garlic. We've got a couple of
clothes there, so just crushed and chopped, a bit more
sea salt, and then we're using some spices. We've got
a teaspoon of ground human and a teaspoon of ground
tumoric just to give a little bit of extra flavor

(04:34):
in there. And then we've got our mushrooms. For just
three white buttoned mushrooms, or if you've only got poured
of bellow mushrooms at home, you can definitely use those,
or oyster mushrooms if you're feeling a little bit fancy.
Cut them up into small pieces and we just sort
e those just to soften them up a little bit,
create some flavor with the gar like the human and
the tumor, and then we pour that mixture into the

(04:55):
pancake batter, right, mix it up, and then using that
same pan, add a little bit more oil and then
you can pour half the batter and create your first
pancake and then repeat that with the second one. And
obviously it depends. If you've doubled the recipe, you'll be
making four, or if you've tripled it, you'll be making six.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah sounds so good. Easy as well, Yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Easy and a really great weekday lunch as well as
a dinner. And I love it that you can just
top it with whatever you want. So it's a great
way to use up those you know, little things in
the fridge or the pantry that are nearly done but
no one's finishing them off, Like, yeah, some hummers, or
if you've got left over roast begs and the freadg

(05:40):
you can chuck them on top. If you've got some eggs,
you could fry an egg or boil some eggs and
put them on top. Avocados, smoked salmon, fresh green fried greens.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, so sounds great.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Go for gold with what you want to top them with.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Oh and that is the phrase of the day as well,
Thank you very much, Roser. Yeah, that sounds awesome. Okay,
we'll put Roses recipes for leak and mushroom savory pancakes
