Makes 8 | Prep 10 mins | Cook 30 mins |
  • 2 tbsp light olive oil
  • 1 shallot, peeled and sliced into half moons
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 large courgette, grated
  • 100g tinned sweetcorn, drained
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes
  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 75g plain flour
  • 100ml Alpro Almond Unsweetened drink
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, to serve
  • 1 avocado, sliced, to serve
  • handful rocket, to serve
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges, to serve
    METHOD
  • 1 Heat a little oil in a frying pan, add the shallot and cook on a gentle heat until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min or so – you can add a little water if the pan is dry. Next add the turmeric, courgette, sweetcorn and chilli flakes, then season to taste. Fry until the courgette is cooked through and the pan has dried out. Remove from heat, stir through the spring onions, then set aside to cool.

  • 2 In a bowl, mix together the flour and Alpro Almond Unsweetened drink, then stir the cooled courgette mixture in.

  • 3 Heat a clean frying pan until hot, add a little oil and swirl round, then add a big spoonful of the courgette mixture and pat down into a small circle. Repeat until the pan is full, but there is space between each pancake. Fry for about 5 mins, then flip and fry again for 5 mins (adding drops of oil as you go, if the pan is dry). Once cooked, remove from the pan onto kitchen paper to drain. Do this in batches until the mixture is used up.

  • 4 Serve with cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, rocket leaves and lemon wedges on the side.
