Spinach Pancakes - Hidden Veg

I've been working with my sister recently to come up with a whole range of hidden veg recipes for my two year old niece. Spinach is a great vegetable to hide because it purées down from raw and then you can just toss it into whatever dish you are making. Once you add the spinach purée everything takes on a delightful green hue. These savoury green spinach pancakes are the first hidden veg recipe I'm sharing because tomorrow is St Patrick's Day and dying green seems to be a popular way to celebrate the day.

Spinach Pancakes Hidden Veg


Spinach Pancakes (makes 8 pancakes)
50g spinach
2 eggs
150ml  self raising flour
115ml millk
A spoonful of butter (to fry pancakes with)

Puree the spinach with a hand blender.
Mix the puree with the other ingredients to make a batter.
Fry the pancakes over a medium heat (see video)



This is great savoury dish, you can serve it with sausages or a cream sauce. Other bright vegetables like sweetcorn and carrots also look amazing on the plate.

Do you have any hidden vegetable recipes that you use regularly?
