Get making!

  1. First of all, prepare the veggies. Heat a little coconut oil in a non-stick pan and gently cook the vegetables. You can use whatever you’ve got in the fridge - things like diced/sliced aubergine, leeks, red onion would work well too.
  2. Stir in the paprika, chilli powder and seasoning after a few minutes to coat the veggies, then continue to cook over a medium heat for a further 10 minutes until softened. Add a little water if necessary to prevent burning. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. Put all of the pancake ingredients into a blender and whizz up until smooth - the mixture should be a bit runny but not too thin or thick.
  4. Wash and dry the pan and add a little more coconut oil. Use kitchen roll to wipe it all over the base of the pan. Use 2 small round tins if you can to keep the shape of the pancakes the same - place them in the pan.
  5. Pour a little mixture into each one to cover the base, then cook on a high-medium heat or a few minutes until it starts to bubble. Remove the tins, flip over and continue cooking for a few minutes, then transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the mixture (you should have enough to make 6 small pancakes in total).
  6. When you’ve made your pancakes, top with the warm veggies and sprinkle with seeds. Now dig in!
