Feta and Spinach Pancakes with Smoked Salmon

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

• 50g sifted wholemeal flour

• 1/8 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 egg

• 25g spinach

• 125g 0% fat Greek yoghurt

• handful parsley, finely chopped

• handful of dill, finely chopped

• 1 spring onion, finely sliced

• 80g feta
  

For the salad

• 1/4 cucumber, diced

• 6 radishes, finely sliced

• 1 shallot, finely minced

For the Dressing

• 25ml lemon juice

• 1 1/2 tsp wholegrain mustard

• 50ml extra virgin olive oil

• sea salt flakes

• smoked salmon and poached eggs, to serve

Method

- First mix all the salad ingredients together and in a small bowl and set aside.

- Make the salad by combining all the ingredients together in a bowl and drizzle over half of the dressing. Season generously with black pepper and toss everything together.

- Make the pancakes by whisking the egg yolk and yoghurt in a large bowl.

- Sieve in the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.

- Add in the spinach, herbs and spring onions.

- Crumble in the feta cheese.

- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until soft peaks form then fold into the batter.

- Heat some vegetable oil in a large frying pan. Once hot, add large spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes before flipping. Repeat this until the pancakes are golden or browned on each side.

- Serve on a plate with a spoonful of salad. Layer the smoked salmon on top and if you want ( I highly recommend ), place a poached egg on top.

- Drizzle the remainder of the dressing around the pancake and sprinkle some black pepper on top!
