BAKED PANCAKES WITH MILLET GROATS AND CAULIFLOWER

We like pancakes. My son likes them with sugar regardless of what kind of pancakes I prepare. Today I decided to encourage him to eat some pancakes with something else. I prepared spicy vegetable pancakes. Unfortunately, I underestimated my son. For him, sugar goes with every kind of pancake. The rest of our family ate them with natural Greek yoghurt. I think that they would be excellent with stew, cucumber salsa or fresh salad.

One of the ingredients of these pancakes is nigella, which is increasingly in our kitchen. As well as the taste properties, nigella can be used as an alternative to pepper. Reportedly, it also has healing properties. It has a soothing effect on gastric mucosa, protects the liver and the kidneys and helps alleviate allergies and skin problems. Additionally, cauliflower acts as a decoration in pancakes with millet groats.

The recipe comes from www.naszakasza.pl

Ingredients (15 pancakes)
100g of millet groats
200g of cauliflower
4 tablespoons of wholemeal flour
half an onion
a clove of garlic
3 teaspoons of nigella
2 eggs
salt and pepper

COURGETTE_BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

When I ask my son what I should prepare for dinner, you can be sure as hell he wants pancakes or crepes. He isn't a typical guy. He doesn't like meat. He likes groats, rice, potatoes, vegetables and salads, and he leaves the meat to the end. When I was a child I was the opposite. First, I ate what I liked the least so that I could relish my favourite dish.

Today I would like to share with you a recipe inspired by my son's taste. I recommend courgette-buckwheat pancakes, which I served with horseradish dip on a natural yoghurt base.

The recipe comes from Lidl cookery book.

Ingredients:
100g of buckwheat groats
1 onion
300g of courgette
2 cloves of garlic
3 tablespoons of minced parsley
150g of 18% cream
1 teaspoon of baking powder
4 tablespoons of flour
2 eggs
salt and pepper

ON THE CHRISTMAS TABLE - LAZANKI - NOODLES WITH CABBAGE AND MUSHROOMS

Traditionally, during the Polish Christmas Eve supper we don't eat any meat. Instead we have twelve dishes with fish, mushrooms, vegetables and cabbage. In my home everybody waits for their favourite meal: my husband and daughter for the herring dishes and vegetable salad, my son for the fried fish, while I wait for dumplings and jellied carp.

One of the traditional dishes in many Polish homes is lazanki with cabbage and mushrooms. Lazanki are small, square noodles. The best dish is made with noble porcini mushrooms. I sometimes mix these forest mushrooms with sliced champignons, which look beautiful among the noodles. Lazanki are a Christmas Eve dish, but sometimes when my children ask me I prepare it during the rest of the year too.

Ingredients:
500g of sauerkraut
1 onion
60g of dried porcini
6-7 champignons
1 tablespoon of caraway seeds
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons of butter
300g of lazanki
salt and pepper
