Cinnamon Spiced Chard Pancakes Passover Food

CINNAMON-SPICED SWISS CHARD PANCAKES

Steps:

• Stir chard with any water still clinging to leaves in large pot over medium-high heat until just wilted but still green, about 3 minutes. Place in sieve; press out moisture. Cool completely.
• Combine eggs, onion, matzo meal, cinnamon, salt, allspice and pepper in medium bowl; blend well. Mix in chard.
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Place baking sheet in oven. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop heaping 1 tablespoon Swiss chard mixture for each pancake into skillet; flatten to 1/2-inch thickness. Fry pancakes until golden brown and cooked through, adding more olive oil to skillet as necessary, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pancakes to baking sheet in oven to keep warm after each batch. Serve pancakes warm with lemon wedges.

CINNAMON & SPICE PANCAKES WITH WARM PEACH TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet or griddle to medium heat. Preheat oven to low heat (180 F - 200 F).
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoons nutmeg.
• In another medium mixing bowl, whisk one egg until frothy. Then add milk, oil and vanilla extract; then whisk until combined.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and whisk in the wet ingredients all at once.
• While cooking the pancakes, start the peach topping. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add peach slices, maple syrup, lemon juice, 1 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoons nutmeg; toss to coat evenly. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 - 10 minutes or until peach slices have softened slightly, and a sauce is formed. Remove from heat and cover until ready to eat.
• Using a 1/4 cup sized measuring cup, pour pancake batter onto a hot, greased skillet/griddle over medium heat, leaving enough space between each pancake for them to expand.
• Cook for 2-4 minutes or until surface begins to bubble and edges appear slightly dry. Turn and cook for another 2 minutes until golden. To keep pancakes hot until ready to serve, place on a heat-resistant plate in the oven on low heat.
• Serve pancakes hot with peach topping.

• Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil on a griddle over medium heat; pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to form on top of pancakes, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until second side is golden brown, 3 to 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

• Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Brush the skillet with oil. Scoop three 1/3-cup mounds of the batter into the skillet, spreading them slightly. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until they are golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and put it in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet if needed.
