Then this evening, I diluted the same old pancake mix -- oat flour keeps developing and thickening as it goes -- and added it to a stirfry of red bell peppers, onions and little celery chunks, with a curry leaf and a big knob of homemade pesto, sorry don't know which, frozen hands couldn't get far enough in to see the label, and there was a cascade of frozen food falling all over me at the time.
Anyway, made the stirfry, which smelled wonderful, and added in a pancake's worth of batter to continue cooking, ending with a nice supper, remembering to remove the curry leaf before serving -- they work like bay leaves, give flavor, you remove them before eating since they're a bit tough.
Here with my ancient Lenox wineglass, all ready to go. My food stylist failed to report to work today, so this is Food Adequate, Tastes Good, Just Eat It. It's a crepe aux veggies. Serving for One. Avec vin tres ordinaire.
And I'm starting to wonder what other uses this all-purpose pancake mix can turn to. Clafouti, yes, I can see this appearing several times. And there are lovely granny smith apple chunks and other apple stuff in the freezer, too, for an apple clafouti.
Gosh, they could send it to Mars with astronauts, they'd never run out, just dilute it when it gets low, guys, it's good and it's gluten free! I can imagine how that would cheer them when they're trying to repair the extra terrestrial walkabout thing..
All your cooking goodness makes my mouth water. I especially like the sound of your apple clafouti.
ReplyDeleteThat looks tasty. Can I just ask do you stir fry the veg and then pour on the batter mix and roll up like a pancake? x
ReplyDeleteYes, that's exactly it. It takes a bit of organizing and tilting the pan to get it to roll,because there's a lot of veg in there. But it worked out nicely.
