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



Amaranth Pancakes image

This recipes originated from the back of the package of Bob's Red Mill Amaranth flour. The recipe has been doubled. These are really good, one of my friends said they taste similar to sopapillas. Serve with syrup or honey. Great with Agave nectar as a low glycemic sweeter. Use like a dessert crepe with fruit and ice cream. A great way to eat whole grain and cut out white flour. For the oil I use coconut (may need to melt), olive oil or grape seed oil.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH FIGS

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 14 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup fresh whole milk ricotta
1 cup buttermilk, shaken
3 extra-large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons), plus extra for serving
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 tablespoons clarified butter
8 to 10 ripe figs, 1/2-inch diced
Salted butter and pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, buttermilk, eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. While stirring with a rubber spatula, add the flour mixture to the ricotta mixture and mix just until combined. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Pour in a tablespoon or two of the clarified butter and heat until the butter sizzles. Stir the batter with a rubber spatula. Using a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop, drop level scoopfuls of batter into the pan and allow them to cook for a few minutes, until bubbles appear all over the top. While the pancakes cook, distribute the figs on the pancakes, then turn to cook on the other side, until they spring back when lightly touched. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding clarified butter to the pan as needed. Transfer to plates, sprinkle with lemon zest, dot with butter, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve hot.

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Brown Butter Stone Fruit Compote and Amaretto Syrup image

Provided by Eric Greenspan

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
2 apricots, pitted and cut in quarters
2 plums, pitted and cut in quarters
1 nectarine, pitted and cut in quarters
1 peach, pitted and cut in quarters
1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split
2 cups amaretto liqueur
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • For the fruit compote: Add the butter to a high-sided saute pan over medium heat and allow to brown. Once browned, add the apricots, plums, nectarines, peaches, sugar and vanilla bean. Stir to combine and cook until the fruit softens and the sugar has dissolved, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean before serving.
  • For the amaretto syrup: Pour the amaretto into a saucepan and heat through over medium heat. Keep warm.
  • For the pancakes: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the ricotta, eggs, milk, lemon zest and juice. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Heat a large saute pan over a medium flame. Once heated, add 1 tablespoon of the butter. After the butter stops bubbling, pour most of it out of the pan and gently wipe the pan with a dry paper towel, leaving a thin film of fat. With a large spoon, gently ladle pancake batter into the pan, about 2 tablespoons per pancake. Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to appear on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the reverse side, about another 2 minutes. Add more butter to the pan as needed.
  • Layer the pancakes on a platter with the fruit compote between each layer. Top with more compote and drizzle with amaretto syrup just before serving.

THE BEST RICOTTA PANCAKES



The Best Ricotta Pancakes image

This is a well loved recipe! I have an old, small crumpled piece of paper with this recipe hand written out from some years ago, not sure where it came from! I have my own scribbles and scratches on it, so I must have changed it somewhere in time, but this is how I have been making it the last 10 years. It is our favorite pancake recipe. So light, a little tangy, and very satisfying. Perfect with some fresh blueberries or strawberries.
