Mushroom Oat Pancakes Food

OAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• To make the compote, put the orange juice, berries and apple in a small saucepan and gently simmer over a medium heat for 10-12 mins until the berries begin to burst and the apple has softened. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little. Add a splash of water to loosen, if you like.
• Blitz the oats in a food processor to form a coarse flour consistency, then tip into a mixing bowl. Add the baking powder, cinnamon and orange zest and stir well. Whisk together the oat milk and egg in a jug, then pour into the dry ingredients and combine to create a thick batter.
• Heat a little of the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then pour in 2 tbsp of the batter to make a small pancake. Cook over a medium heat for 2 mins, or until small bubbles start to appear on the surface. Flip the pancake over and cook on the other side for 1 min, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter (you should end up with six pancakes). Stack the pancakes on two warm plates, spoon over the compote and top with a dollop of the Greek yogurt.

STAFFORDSHIRE OATCAKES WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• For the oatcakes, tip the oats and 350ml water into a bowl and blitz with a stick blender until smooth (alternatively you can use a food processor or liquidizer). Stir in the flour and yeast, cover and leave in the fridge overnight, or leave at room temperature for 2-3 hrs until bubbles appear.
• Use kitchen paper to rub ½ tsp oil round a non-stick frying pan, then heat. Ladle in a quarter of the batter and swirl the pan to cover the base (the oatcakes should be a few millimeters thick, like a crêpe). Cook for 2 mins, then turn and cook for 2 mins more until golden. Make four oatcakes in the same way. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, chill two for another day. Will keep, covered in the fridge, for two days.
• To make the topping for two oatcakes, heat 2 tsp oil in a non-stick pan, add 160g mushrooms and fry for 2-3 mins, stirring until softened. Stir in 2 tomatoes, then add 2 tbsp ground seeds and cook for 2 mins more. Reheat the oatcakes in a dry frying pan or the microwave if necessary, then spread each one with 1 tbsp tahini, the mushroom mixture and scatter with a little coriander before serving. On the second day, repeat step 3 with the remaining ingredients.

OAT FLOUR PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• To make homemade oat flour, add rolled oats to a blender and blend into a fine, fluffy texture.
• Whisk together dry ingredients (oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt).
• Separately, whisk together wet ingredients (eggs, milk, vanilla, and lemon juice).
• Fold dry mixture into wet mixture, but don't overmix.
• Allow batter to sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly.
• Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat. (See specific temperatures for griddle below.)
• Add a drizzle of oil or melt butter onto the griddle.
• Use an ice cream scoop (or ¼ cup) to distribute pancake batter onto heated surface. (Or 1 Tbsp for mini silver dollar pancakes.)
• Cook pancakes until small bubbles form and bottoms are lightly browned, then flip. (These will bubble slightly, but not as much as traditional pancakes.) Cook about 1½-2 minutes per side. (Or 45-60 seconds per side for silver dollar.)
• Serve and enjoy with maple syrup and your favorite toppings!
• Yields 8-10 oat flour pancakes, using ¼ cup scoop for batter.
• Turn heat on griddle to medium low (300°F or 150°C) for 5-10 minutes while pancake batter rests. When ready to cook, turn heat up to medium-to-medium high (325-350°F or 165°C-175°C).
• Water Test: Drop a small amount of water on the griddle to see if the temperature is right. If the water sits still on the griddle, the temp is too low; if the water sizzles and evaporates immediately, it's too hot; if water droplets sizzle but "dance" and move around, the temperature is perfect.
• Follow cooking procedure described above.

WILD MUSHROOM PANCAKES

Steps:

• Make the batter with the flour, seasoning to taste, eggs, and milk. Leave to stand for at least one hour.
• In large frying pan, melt the butter and sauté the mushrooms until they are wilted and all the liquid has evaporated. Set aside to cool.
• Combine the batter and mushrooms. Heat a frying pan with a small amount of oil, and fry pancakes about 2 inches in diameter.
• Eat.

OATMEAL FOR DINNER (SAVORY STEEL CUT OATS)

Steps:

• In medium saucepan with lid, heat stock over medium heat until simmering, then reduce heat to low and keep covered.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add leek and salt; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic, mushrooms, thyme and sage; cook 7 to 8 minutes or until mushrooms are very deeply browned, stirring frequently. Add wine, cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add oatmeal; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add 2 ladles of hot stock, cook until oats have absorbed almost all of the liquid. From this point, you'll continue adding stock, 1 ladle at a time, and stirring frequently (you do NOT need to stir constantly). The oats should take about 25 minutes to cook (taste to make sure they are tender).
• To finish, vigorously stir in 1/4 cup cheese. Serve in warm bowls garnished with parsley and extra cheese.

MUSHROOM HOTCAKES/PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan (skillet) over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes stirring often until the mushrooms are tender and all moisture has evaporated.
• Remove to a plate lined with paper towel and set aside to cool.
• Wipe pan clean.
• Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
• Whisk buttermilk and eggs in a jug with a fork until well combined.
• Stir buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients until combined.
• Stir in mushrooms and chives (mixture should be the consistency of light sour cream, add more buttermilk if required).
• Brush frying pan with a little of the oil and heat over medium heat until hot.
• Using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per hotcake, spoon mixture into pan and cook for about 2 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surgace and then turn hotcakes and cook for a further 1 to 2 minutes or until golden (you should be able to cook about 3 to 4 at a time).
• Keep warm (in the oven) while cooking the remaining batter.
• Serve - suggestions given are reduced fat cream cheese or a dollop of tomato chutney and cottage cheese.

MUSHROOM PANCAKES

Steps:

• Wash and pat dry the mushrooms. Saute all mushrooms in 1 teaspoon of oil until cooked, add fresh herbs and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside, when cool add flour, beaten egg, and chopped fresh herbs. Stir to combine well. Add about 3 tablespoons of oil onto the skillet and drop spoonfuls of mushroom batter (about 3 inches) into the oil. Fry, turning once, until both sides are lightly golden. Add more oil, if necessary, to fry the remaining batter. (Please note because different flour absorbs different amounts of liquid you may need to add more flour.)
