Carrot Zucchini Pancakes

Makes about 16 small pancakes.

Ingredients:

  • 2 small zucchini
  • 6 – 8 medium carrots, peeled
  • 1/2 bunch green onions (3 – 4)
  • 2 cloves garlic (or garlic puree – to taste)
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley (can use 1 tsp dried if fresh is not available)
  • Box of pancake mix (make batter amount to equal the 16 pancake instruction on box, but with slightly less liquid)

​Directions:

  1. Grate the zucchini and carrots using the large holes on the grater.
  2. Chop the green onions thinly, mince the garlic and parsley.
  3. Prepare pancake mix, but use approximately 1/4 cup less liquid than called for; the zucchini will add a great deal of liquid to the mix. 
  4. Fold all the vegetables into the prepared pancake batter.
  5. Warm a skillet over medium-high heat and a little olive oil. Use a 1/3 measuring cup to scoop the batter onto the heated skillet. Gently spread the pancake with the back of a large spoon, if necessary, so it’s not too thick. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until the outer edges have set and you see bubbles breaking through the surface, then flip. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes and remove from heat.
  6. Sprinkle the pancakes with salt and allow to cool slightly before serving.
  7. Serve with butter, sour cream, or also good with a savory jam or chutney!
