So I call these things vegetable pancakes, they're kinda like bubble & squeak, or maybe a bit like okonomiyaki (おこのみやき) which is a savoury Japanese pancake, they're very tasty & highly recommended by the way...
So basically all you do is make up a batter, kinda similar to a pancake batter, only it's savoury, so no sugar.
I personally use-
- Self raising flour
- Beer (home-brew, gluten-free of course)
- Stock
- Mirin
- Water
- Pepper
- Garlic (minced)
Stir all these ingredients well to form a batter roughly the consistency of thick paint. Do be careful not to make the batter too watery at this point because the veggies will release quite a bit of liquid ; )
Then all you do is hack up the veggies &/or leftovers you have at hand into fairly small pieces, give them a quick pan fry to soften them up a bit & stir them through the batter : ) I sometimes like to add cheese as well.
Then using a ladle scoop a good amount of the mix into a well greased, non-stick pan & fry it up. I use a medium-low heat & let it cook for around 3-5 minutes on both sides until they're cooked through & golden brown :D
These are tasty served with tomato sauce or mayonaise.
I hope this idea helps you save some veggies otherwise destined for the compost pile...
