AMARANTH, RICOTTA AND GREENS PANCAKES



Amaranth, Ricotta and Greens Pancakes image

These pancakes are inspired by another recipe, for rice, beet greens and ricotta blinis. They are made with amaranth, a high-protein, gluten-free grain and have a lighter texture than the rice cakes. Cooked amaranth is good in baked goods and griddled cakes because it's so moist. I cooked the amaranth in homemade turkey stock (made and frozen after Thanksgiving), and the stock gave it a very nice flavor; I recommend cooking it in some kind of flavorful stock, whether it's vegetable, chicken or turkey.

Time 1h15m

Yield About 20 2 1/2- to 3-inch cakes, serving 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup amaranth
1 cup chicken stock or vegetable stock
Salt to taste
1 large bunch chard, stemmed and washed
1 cup (8 ounces) ricotta cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup low-fat milk (2 percent)
5 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole-wheat pastry flour or white whole-wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped (about 2/3 cup)
2 large garlic cloves, minced
Freshly ground pepper
Olive oil or butter for the pan or griddle
Marinara sauce for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the amaranth. Combine with the stock and salt to taste in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit for 15 minutes or longer without disturbing.
  • Steam the greens above 1 inch of boiling water for about 1 to 2 minutes, just until wilted. Remove from the heat, allow to cool and squeeze out excess water. Chop fine. You should have 1 cup chopped blanched chard.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium-size skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the greens, season with salt and pepper, stir together until well coated with oil, and remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the ricotta, eggs, milk and Parmesan. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk into the ricotta mixture. Stir in the greens, amaranth and pepper.
  • Heat a griddle or a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with olive oil or butter, enough to coat the bottom, and drop the batter in by the heaped tablespoon (or use a small ladle or a 1/4-cup measuring cup, filling it only partway). The pancakes should be 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter. Cook for about 3 minutes, until lightly browned and risen, and turn over. Cook for another 3 minutes, until brown on the other side. The pancakes will be moist in the middle, but there should not be a raw flour taste. Remove from the heat and serve, or cool on a rack and heat later in a medium-low oven. Serve with a dollop of tomato sauce.

AMARANTH PANCAKES

These pancakes were developed to be dairy- and gluten-free. The slight crunch of amaranth makes these memorably delicious! Soy milk can be substituted for almond milk if desired.

AMARANTH & FLAX PANCAKES



Amaranth & Flax Pancakes image

I am basically "allergic to the universe." This recipe came from my personal desire to make pancakes which do not contain white flour or white sugar. The recipe is quick, simple and very healthy. The pancake itself is not sweet tasting because it has no sweetener, however, it can be easily sweetened by adding Stevia, Steviva, or some other sweetener to the batter. I have elected to sweeten the pancake by adding honey and fruit.

AMARANTH PANCAKES



Amaranth Pancakes image

Amaranth, packed with amino acids, fiber, iron, calcium and magnesium, is a great way to add nutrient-rich foods to your diet without increasing your overall intake. Ground into a flour, it's easily worked into a variety of gluten-free foods. Combined with white whole-wheat flour and blended with honey to balance out amaranth's grassy notes, it makes textured but light whole-grain pancakes. First cultivated in Central America, amaranth typically top lists of South American "super foods" alongside quinoa. With pre-Colombian roots stretching back 5,000-plus years, it knows something about going long.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup amaranth flour
3/4 cup white whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup low-fat buttermilk, at room temperature
1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 egg, well beaten
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 tablespoons honey
Butter or oil, for greasing

Steps:

  • Sift together the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Separately, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg and melted butter. Pour into the flour mixture and stir to combine, do not over-mix. Allow batter to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a pan or cast-iron skillet over medium until hot. Brush lightly with butter or oil. Spoon the batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear along the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, 1 to 2 additional minutes. The pancakes should be neither too dark nor too pale. Adjust the heat as needed so that they brown evenly. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with honey or syrup and topped with fruit with additional nutritional benefit like blueberries, blackberries or pomegranates.

WHOLE-GRAIN PANCAKES

I make this for my kids quite often. Great way to get whole grains in them! Preparing the batter in the food processor makes it that much easier, and smoothes out the batter for those who don't like a grainy texture. Serve with syrup and butter or coconut oil. Also delicious with ricotta cheese and strawberries, and just a drizzle of syrup.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup whey protein powder
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon artificial sweetener

Steps:

  • Combine dry ingredients in medium bowl.
  • In another bowl, beat together the eggs, cream and vanilla, then pouring it into the bowl of dry ingredients.
  • Stir well and let sit for 3 minutes until it begins to bubble and thicken slightly. Using about 1/8 cup, spoon batter onto a hot, buttered griddle and let cook until some bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake. Carefully turn and cook the other side for just a minute.
  • Serve with your favorite syrup.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality blender or food processor. This will ensure that your pancake batter is smooth and lump-free.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the flaxseed to absorb some of the liquid and the batter to thicken.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.
