Forgotten carrots

Carrot pancakes

This recipe is a great way to introduce carrots to a child’s diet…and also to reluctant adults. How many times do we overlook carrots? It is great with some dips such as humus. If making for young children, do not add the chilli.

Ingredients:

350g carrots, washed and grated

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 red chilli, finely chopped

1 heaped tsp fennel seeds

2 tsp ground coriander

250 g chickpea or gram flour

1 tsp gluten-free baking powder

1 tsp salt

200 ml water

Grate the washed carrots.

Grated!

Chop the onion and chilli.

Red hot!

Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix together.

Fennel seeds

Put a heavy-based pan over a medium heat and add a little vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add a ladleful of the carrot mix and spread a little. Allow to cook until the top starts to dry out and you see bubbles. Turn over and cook until browned. 

Bubbly

Enjoy with the dip of your choice.
