Vegetable Stuffed Savory Pancakes

Vegetable Stuffed Savory Pancakes

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Water, as needed to form a soft dough

For the Filling:

• 1 cup finely chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, green onions, spinach)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon each of cumin and paprika (optional for added flavor)

For Cooking:

• Vegetable oil or butter for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • In another bowl, mix together the chopped vegetables, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and cheese if using. Mix well to combine.

3. Assemble the Pancakes:

   • Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a flat circle.

   • Place a portion of the vegetable filling in the center of each rolled-out dough.

   • Carefully bring the edges together and seal, then gently roll it out again into a flat pancake, ensuring the filling doesn’t spill out.

4. Cook the Pancakes:

   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter.

   • Place one stuffed pancake in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

   • Repeat with the remaining pancakes.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the savory pancakes hot, ideally with a side of yogurt, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.
