Tips:
- For a more pronounced mint flavor, add a bit more spearmint to the pancake batter or the pea salad dressing.
- Ensure the zucchini is grated very finely and squeezed to remove excess moisture; this will help the pancakes stay firm and cook evenly.
- Use fresh peas for a more vibrant color and flavor in the salad. If you’re using frozen peas, ensure they are fully thawed and drained.
- If you prefer a thicker batter for the pancakes, reduce the amount of milk slightly.
- Serve the pancakes warm for the best texture and taste, ideally right after cooking.
With its mixture of fresh vegetables, fluffy pancakes, and zesty salad, this Zucchini and mint ricotta pancakes with pea salad recipe is a delightful dish that balances flavors and textures perfectly.
