SPINACH PANCAKES

A healthy, savoury take on a family favourite! Perfect for breakfast or lunch.

1 ripe avocado

350 g mixed-colour cherry tomatoes

100 g baby spinach

3 spring onions

½ a bunch of fresh coriander , (15g)

1 lime

extra virgin olive oil

1 large free-range egg

1 mug of self-raising flour

1 mug of semi-skimmed milk

olive oil

Halve, destone, peel and finely slice the avocado and quarter the tomatoes, then place in a salad bowl with a quarter of the spinach. Trim, finely slice and add the spring onions and pick in the coriander leaves, then squeeze over the lime juice. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, toss to coat and put aside.
Crack the egg into a blender, add the flour, milk, remaining spinach and a pinch of salt and pepper, then blitz until smooth. Place a large non stick frying pan on a medium heat, rub the pan with a little olive oil, then pour in a thin layer of batter, swirling it up and around the edges. Cook on one side only for 2 minutes, or until lightly golden, then stack up on a serving plate and repeat.
Top each pancake with the avocado salad. Really nice served with extra lime wedges.
