of ideas…<\/p>\n
cooking is fun – whether we follow a recipe exactly or just throw something together. When throwing things together – you sometimes end up with a winner or you end up tossing it to the dogs. Mochi is grinning \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n
Last night was a throwing things together kind of dinner. I have a nice patch of garlic chives in the yard. When we moved here back in ’97 my mom gave me a few bulbs and they have multiplied into a very healthy corner in one of the raised beds. (A few months back I was able to return the favor as her patch had been dug up by some kind of night creature.)<\/p>\n
I kept thinking I have to use some of the chives up – one of my favorites ways is in Korean pancakes – Pa Jeon. Which is really scallion pancakes but garlic chives work just as well. Scallion pancakes are either made with wheat flour or ground mung beans. I like the mung bean version just fine but it is a bit more involved than the wheat flour version – soaking and grinding takes a little pre-planning. I can post about those another time.<\/p>\n
I’ve been trying to heath-i-fy the wheat flour recipe by using whole grain flours, be gluten free, egg free and a bit higher in protein for P who is vegetarian. One day I used all buckwheat flour…it was a bit too…well, buckwheaty.<\/p>\n
With my socca craze I decided to try replacing the wheat flour with a 50\/50 garbanzo flour and buckwheat flour mix. We ate them all up so I guess we ended up with a winner.<\/p>\n
Here is the Recipe:<\/p>\n
Korean Vegetable & Garbanzo\/Buckwheat ‘Socca’ <\/strong><\/p>\n Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method *Dipping Sauce*<\/strong> Whisk together all pancake ingredients so there are no lumps. <\/p>\n Heat a 10 inch cast iron pan over medium heat until hot. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil. Pour about 1\/3-1\/2 cup of batter into pan. Cook until bottom is turning brown – this should take at least 3-4 minutes so turn up or down the heat as needed. Flip and cook until cooked through and brown. Transfer to plate and keep warm in a low oven. Cook remaining pancakes – you should have enough batter for 4-6 depending on how thick or thin you made them. Serve them cut into quarters with the dipping sauce.<\/p>\n Variations: Add any and all kinds of thin sliced vegetables in any combination like: scallion, leeks, green garlic, spring onions, asparagus, green beans, zucchini, carrot, peppers, shiitake mushrooms, button mushrooms, etc. This batter can probably take up to a 1\/2c to 3\/4c of cut up vegetables. This recipe is a great way to use up any odds and ends of veggies in the frig.<\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" of ideas… cooking is fun – whether we follow a recipe exactly or just throw something together.
