| Sunday breakfast |
While a traditional weekday breakfast in our home is porridge of rolled rye and barley served with blueberries, for our weekends I usually treat my men with something different. I never know what it's going to be until I have my lazy Sunday morning cup of tea with a few pages of the book I am reading. Those are my 15-20 minutes of peaceful time while everyone is still asleep. This morning was no exception either.
Then, I started making a batch of vegetable stock for a week. I prepared carrots, peppers, celery, onions, garlic, and zucchinis to go in the oven. Then I looked at the baking pan before sending it to the oven a breakfast idea "hit" me: pancakes! But not your usual pancakes with buttermilk and syrup. I wanted something with spicy kick in it, and some vegetables. So... chickpea-zucchini pancakes with a spicy parsley-garlic sauce... to wake up all the senses!

These pancakes look great. I hoping to grow some courgettes this year, so this recipe may make it onto my plate.
ReplyDeleteMy breakfast this morning by the way was toast with mushrooms.
Oh, I love this idea....zucchini pancakes sound like my kind of breakfast :)
ReplyDeleteI love that they are gluten free too! I have been into savory breakfasts recently, but this morning breakfast was yogurt - my typical workday breakfast!
ReplyDeleteI feel really unhealthy now I had a fried egg sandwich, and dorest cereal with banana apple and yogurt. However i did do a 9 mile walk today spend 1 hour in the garden so I worked it off I figure! :)
ReplyDeletehahahahahahaha. My dear friend Marina, and I thought I was the only one who makes strange culinary inventions, but you beat me by far. this breakfast of yours is a breakfast of champions. bravo!!!, I loved it from start to finish.
ReplyDeleteMy breakfast is not less rare than yours, but as I said before you beat me. I prepare a sweet omelet with papaya and green apple. How about that?
Hugs my friend
Hi Marina, I see myself cooking that breakfast. The parsley garlic sauce sounds interesting with these pancakes. How did you like amaranth flour and chickpeas flour?
ReplyDeletedelicious breakfast colourful
ReplyDeletelike zucchini fritters
What a great idea making a savoury pancake! :D I like the sound of the sauce too in place of a syrup or jam :)
ReplyDeleteOh yum. I much prefer a savoury breakfast. I don't have much of a sweet tooth. The sauce looks good too.
ReplyDeleteMarina the pancakes look yum, but for me stealing the show is the spicy parsley and garlic sauce...that looks so delish and I love the pale green colour...perfect!
ReplyDeleteUsually my breakfast consists of coffee (in massive amounts), and, if I'm lucky, cereal. I would love to be able to start off my day with these pancakes! The parsley garlic sauce looks amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLove everything you are offering! this is one perfect breakfast; very creative pancakes.
