Cottage Cheese Pancakes with Oyster Mushrooms & Cherry Tomatoes Recipe:

Ingredients:

For Pancakes:
  • Eggs 2
  • Cottage cheese 400 g
  • Buckwheat or plain flour 2 tbsp
  • Polenta or semolina 2 tbsp
  • Parsley a bunch
  • Spinach a bunch
  • Salt a pinch
  • Vegetable oil for cooking
For Topping:
  • Oyster mushrooms 100 g
  • Cherry tomatoes 6-8
  • Sour cream or greek yogurt for topping

Method:

Pancakes:
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, then stir in cottage cheese and mix well until smooth.
  • Add flour and polenta, chopped parsley and spinach and mix well until well combined.
  • Pour oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick skillet.
  • Sprinkle a bit of flour onto a plate and dust your hands with some flour. With your hands or a spoon, scoop out a tablespoon of the batter and set the mound on the floured plate. Use your hands to gently shape it into a round patty and coat it lightly on all sides with flour. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Carefully transfer the patties to the pan and cook them slowly until the undersides are browned about 3 minutes. Turn with a spatula and cook until the other sides are browned, 3 to 4 minutes more.
Mushrooms Topping:
  • While pancakes are cooking take another skillet, pour a little bit of oil and cook the mushrooms until golden brown.
  • Cut cherry tomatoes in halves. 
  • Transfer the fried pancakes onto a paper towel to absorb the excess of oil.
  • Serve cottage cheese pancakes while warm, with sour cream, fried mushrooms and cherry tomatoes on top.
  • Enjoy!
