Recipe: Eggless dandelion pancakes

Fritters with aromatic herbs

July 19, 2011

I harvested a generous amount of dandelion leaves, and I prepared two recipes, these eggles pancakes with chickpea flour (very used in vegan and Indian cuisine as an egg substitute for its thickening properties) and Dandelion and Yams Pies, with whole dandelion leaves.

Eggless dandelion pancakes

Ingredients
1 cup dandelion leaves (30g)
50g chickpea flour
50ml water
frying oil

Directions
Beat the chickpea flour with water until the mixture is creamy and let stand.
Blanch the dandelions in salted water for several minutes, then drain and chop finely.
Mix the chopped dandelion with the chickpea flour mixture and fry spoonfuls in hot oil.

Author: Susan (URL) 19/07/2011 Fantastic, Graziana! I ve never had dandelion before. It is unfortunate that in U.S. it is considered mostly a road-side weed or lawn nuisance. I have, however, seen it occasionally at my greengrocer s and am now encouraged by your recipe to try it. I am assuming that it has bitter tones that sound perfectly paired up with chickpea flour. Thanks for your MLLA contribution and your well wishes!
Author: Graziana 19/07/2011 Hi Susan, dandelion is a weed in Italy too... but I had sowed, growed and nurtured it. It s slightly bitter and it s perfect with natural sweet ingredients like chickpeas flour or yams.
