Pannkakor med kantareller, trädgårdsbönor och zucchini

En pannkaka, som egentligen är en fransk crepe! En klassisk crepe görs på bovetemjöl, vatten och salt - inget annat. Så även här! Fyllningen utgörs här av zucchini som torrstekts och sedan kort bakats i ugn - då får du en zucchini som smakar mycket, och är fast i konsistensen. Tillsammans med len yoghurt, frästa kantareller och trädgårdsbönor är detta en fyllning du bara måste testa!

Pannkakor med stekta kantareller, trädgårdsbönor och zucchini

4 portioner

Pannkakssmet / Crepesmet

2 dl bovetemjöl

3 dl havredryck

1/2 tsk salt

Rapsolja att steka i

Fyllning

200 gram vaxbönor, brytbönor eller sockerärtor

300 gram kantareller

1 stor zucchini, eller 2 små

1 tsk rapsolja

Flingsalt och nymalen svartpeppar

Till servering

Fet växtbaserad yoghurt

Färsk basilika

Gör såhär

Vispa ihop crepesmeten, låt svälla minst 1 timme.

Värm ugnen till 175°C. Skär zucchinin i skivor på snedden, skåra ett rutmönster på båda snittytorna till varje skiva. Stek i en torr, medelhet stekpanna på båda sidor tills zucchinin fått färg. Lägg på en bakplåt och baka i ugnen i 10 minuter. Ringla över lite kallpressad rapsolja och strö över en nypa salt. Skär på mitten.

Skär bort kvistbiten från bönorna, skär i mindre bitar. Borsta bort eventuell jord från kantarellerna, förväll i en torr stekpanna tills vätskan kokat bort. Blanda ner bönorna, ringla över lite olja och stek tills kantarellerna är gyllene och lätt krispiga i kanterna, och bönorna mjuknat något. Smaka av med salt och peppar.

Grädda crepen i en medelhet stekpanna, på båda sidor, tills du får en fin pannkaka. Gör likadant med resterande smet.

Fyll crepen med en klick yoghurt, zucchini och kantarellfyllningen. Strö över färsk basilika.

Pancakes with chanterelles, garden beans and courgette

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 dl buckwheat flour

3 dl oat mylk

1/2 tsp salt

Rapeseed oil for frying

Filling

200 grams wax beans or haricot vests, or a mix of them two

300 grams chanterelles

1 big courgette, or 2 smaller

1 tsp rapeseed oil for frying

1 tsp cold pressed rapeseed pil for drizzling

Flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper

For serving

Fat plant-based yoghurt

Fresh basil

How to

Whisk together the crepe batter, let sit for 1 hour.

Pre heat the oven to 175°C. Slice the courgette in 1 cm thick pieces on the width. Lightly cut a grid pattern on both sides of every slice. Fry in a dry frying pan, on both sides, until the courgette get a bit of color. Put on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Drizzle with some cold pressed rapeseed oil and sprinkle with salt.

Cut away the spring from the beans. Cut the rest in smaller pieces. Brush the chanterelles, fry in a fry pan until all water is gone. Add the beans and some rapeseed oil, fry until chanterelles are golden and and lightly crisp in the edges, and the beans have soften a bit. Salt and pepper to taste.

Fry the crepes in a medium hot frying pan drizzled with a bit of oil, on both sides, until golden and lightly crisp in the edges.

Fill the crepe with a dollop of yoghurt, zucchini and the chanterelle filling. Garnish with fresh basil.

Pumpkin tray with pea pesto, yoghurt and fresh herbs

So, the the idea with this dish is to start with a veggie (preferably in season) which you bake and then top with some legume pesto/hummus/bean spread etc. Serve it as a side to your dinner, part of a buffet or add a handful of cooked or soaked grains (oats, spelt, sorghum etc) or pseudo grains (quinoa, buckwheat) to make it a filling and complete dinner!

Pumpkin tray with pea pesto, yoghurt and fresh herbs

Serves 4 as a side

Ingredients

1 butternut squash or pumpkin such as Hokkaido pumpkin *

Pea pesto

250 grams green peas

1/2 dl / 0.2 cups pepitas/pumpkin seeds

2 handfulls of fresh basil

1 Tbsp nutritional yeast

1 Tbsp cold pressed olive oil

salt and freshly ground black pepper

For serving

Cammelina seeds **

fresh basil

red cabbage, raw shaved

How to

Pre heat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Wash and cut the pumpkin in smaller pieces (but not too small - I like to serve quite big chunks!). Put on a baking tray and bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until soft and sweet. When baking pumpkins, butternut squash and courgettes I usually don’t use any oil since they contain quite a lot of water as it is! However - for that extra shiny cover and some crisp brush with oil before baking in the oven.

Mix all the ingredients, except for the pumpkin seeds, for the pesto in a food processor until your preferred pesto texture. Add the pumpkin seeds and pulse a few times. Salt and pepper to taste.

Add bid dollops of pea pesto straight on top of the pumpkin, drizzle over som yoghurt and sprinkle with camelina seeds!

* Other yummy things to put on your tray could be: cauliflower, new potatoes, courgette, aubergine, carrots and sweet potatoes JUST TO MENTION A FEW. Feel free to add your favourites below!

** Camelina seeds are fiber and protein rich tiny seeds which roasted taste a bit nutty. Gives a nice texture on top of salads, crisp bread toppings or porridge! Great to add to your smoothie as well. Also I've heard it can be used as a egg replacement but never tried it - any of you who’ve done it?

Rolled veggie lasagna with a mushroom and lentil mince + Spinach pesto

An all-in-one-dish packed with flavour, lots of different textures, nutrition - and pure plant based food love! I top this kind-of-lasagna-thing with an easily and quickly mixed spinach pesto - which is truly irresistible! For my veggie slices I use a mix of courgette and aubergines - but you can mix and match (e.g. only use courgettes or only use aubergines) however you want, just make sure to have enough to roll up all the yummy veggie mince!

Also, make it your own thing and use other herbs instead or basil if you have any other at home, use seeds instead of walnuts if you're allergic etcetera! 

Rolled veggie lasagna with a mushroom and lentil mince

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 dl beluga lentils, uncooked (about 6 dl pre cooked)

400 g mushrooms

2 handfuls of fresh basil

2 medium courgettes 

2 medium aubergines

500 g crushed tomatoes

1 tbsp unfiltered apple cider vinegar 

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 tbsp dired oregano

230 g pre cooked gigant white beans

2 tbsp cold pressed olive oil

1 handful of walnut kernels, chopped

1 tbsp nutritional yeast * (optional, gives a delicious cheesy and nutty flavour to the whole thing)

Spinach pesto

2 big handfuls of organic baby spinach

1 big handful of fresh basil

1 big handful of walnut kernels, preferably toasted to add an even nuttier taste to the pesto

1 small garlic clove

1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, gives a delicious cheesy and nutty flavour to the whole thing)

a squeeze of organic lemon + zest from 1 lemon

1/2 dl /0.2 US cups cold pressed olive oil

unrefined salt and freshly ground black pepper

Garnish

Fresh basil

How to

Cook the lentils according to instructions on the packaging. Wash the mushrooms.  Mix lentils, mushrooms, basil and 1 tbsp olive oil until veggie a mince. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

Wash and slice the courgettes and aubergines very thinly lengthwise. Put slices on a big tray, salt them lightly and let sit for about 15 minutes to allow any bitter juice to drain from the aubergine - and to make the slices easier to roll. Dry the slices with kitchen paper.

Pour the crushed tomatoes in to a oven proof dish - preferably a cast iron one as that helps increase the absorption of iron from the food (to be more specific - from the cast iron dish itself). Add vinegar, garlic, oregano and white beans. Stir to combine.

Pre heat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius/300 degrees Fahrenheit. Take a courgette or aubergine slice. Put a spoon of the mushroom and lentil mince in one end and make a roll. Put the roll in the crushed tomato blend. Continue to fill the whole oven dish. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with walnuts and nutritional yeast. Put the dish in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the whole thing looks slightly golden.

Meanwhile - mix all the ingredients for the pesto until your preferred pesto texture. I like mine to be kind of crunchy! Salt and pepper to taste.

Top the lasagna with BIG dollops of spinach pesto and fresh basil. 

ENJOY <3
