Cottage cheese pancakes with roasted capsicum salsa are a delightful and nutritious twist on traditional pancakes. This recipe combines the creamy texture of cottage cheese with the savory taste of roasted capsicum to create a meal that's not only delicious but also packed with protein and rich flavors.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the red peppers.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the diced red peppers on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and slightly charred.
- While the peppers are roasting, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the roasted peppers are ready, add them to the skillet with the onion.
- Pour in the vinegar and mix well.
- Cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped basil leaves.
- Set the salsa aside to cool slightly while you prepare the pancakes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the lowfat cottage cheese, egg whites, and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Mix until smooth.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of additional olive oil if needed.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Plate the pancakes and top generously with the roasted capsicum salsa.
- Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the cottage cheese is well-drained to avoid adding extra moisture to the pancake batter.
- For a smoother pancake texture, blend the cottage cheese before adding it to the batter.
- Roast the capsicums until the skin is charred for a smoky flavor in the salsa.
- Let the roasted capsicums cool in a covered bowl to make peeling the skin easier.
- Serve the pancakes immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor.
