Instructions:
For the Whole Wheat Pancakes:
-
Prepare the Pancake Batter:
Begin by finely chopping the rosemary and oregano. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, raw cane sugar, and salt. Add the 20g of olive oil, the chopped herbs, and a pinch of turmeric to the mixture. Stir to combine. Your pancake batter is now ready. You can either use it immediately or let it rest in the fridge for a while. -
Cooking the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush it lightly with the remaining 15g of olive oil using a pastry brush. Once the pan is hot, spoon a portion of the batter into the skillet, shaping it into a round pancake (not too large). Cook each pancake for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. -
-
Prepare the Filling Cream:
While the pancakes are cooking, finely chop the chives and place them in a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. This will be used to pipe the filling onto the pancakes. Slice the bresaola into thin strips. Peel the carrot and cut it into thin matchsticks for decoration. Slice the cherry tomatoes into small rounds. -
Assemble the Pancakes:
Once the pancakes are cooked, set them aside and keep them cool. To assemble, pipe the chive cream onto each pancake, then top with slices of bresaola, carrots, tomatoes, corn, and chives. Sprinkle with black pepper, and arrange the toppings as creatively as you wish.
For the Non-Alcoholic Mojito:
-
Prepare the Mojito:
Cut the limes in half, then divide each half into two smaller parts. Place the lime pieces into long drink glasses. For a more intense aroma, you can gently muddle the lime pieces with the raw cane sugar to release the flavors. -
Mix the Mojito:
Add ice cubes to each glass and pour in the tonic water and lemonade. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together. -
Serve:
Serve the pancakes cold, accompanied by the chilled non-alcoholic mojito for a refreshing and light appetizer.
Enjoy these delicious, light whole wheat pancakes without any dairy, eggs, or butter, paired with the refreshing zing of a non-alcoholic mojito! Perfect for a healthy and flavorful start to your meal.
