Ingredients
- 200g self-raising flour
- 1 Enriched egg
- 275ml Tom Parker Creamery vitamin enriched whole milk
- 50g baby spinach
- 250g ricotta
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ripe avocados, thinly sliced
- 120g baby plum or cherry tomatoes, quartered
- A handful pitted black olives, torn in half
- A handful of fresh basil leaves
Method
- Put the flour, egg, milk, and spinach into a blender. Season and blitz until smooth. Alternatively use a stick blender to blitz. Leave to rest at room temperature for at least 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, beat the ricotta in a mixing bowl with the lemon zest, juice and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season and whisk until light and smooth.
- Heat a little of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add a ladle of the batter into the pan, again swirling so that the base is covered. Cook for 1½-2 mins, flipping halfway when bubbles have formed on the surface. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter adding a little more oil before each one.
- To serve, spread the whipped ricotta over the pancake, top with sliced avocado, chopped tomatoes, olives, and basil leaves. Fold in half and enjoy.
