¡Un placer saludarlos!
A pleasure to greet you!
Hello friends, today I thank God because I am back in my beloved Cumaná. My mom was eagerly waiting for me and to spoil her I prepared some delicious pancakes with carrots, accompanied with spinach and guayanés cheese.
To face covid it is important to strengthen the immune system of the vaccinated and unvaccinated, so we must incorporate green vegetables, other vegetables and fruits to our diet. As I have told in other opportunities my mother is an oncology patient and for that reason she must ingest nutrients that keep her strong and healthy. Spinach is low in calories and a source of vitamins, proteins, iron and minerals and I have the advantage that the spinach I used to accompany my pancakes is grown in my sister's garden.
Here I share with you this easy and economical recipe ideal for a dinner or a delicious breakfast.
Esta preparación rinde para 7 panquecas.
This preparation yields 7 pancakes.
Ingredientes // Ingredients
- 300 gm. de Espinacas
- 1/2 cebolla
- 1 cucharada de margarina
- 2 tazas de harina de trigo todo uso
- 1 zanahoria
- 2 cucharadas de azúcar
- 1 huevo
- 1 taza de leche liquida
- Sal al gusto
- Queso guayanés
- 300 gm. of Spinach
- 1/2 onion
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 carrot
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of liquid milk
- Salt to taste
- Guayanés cheese
Paso a Paso // Step by Step
First we wash the onion and spinach leaves very well and then we chop the onion into julienne strips and the spinach into thin strips. I like to remove the central vein because it is a little tougher than the rest of the spinach leaf.
Luego ponemos en un sartén una cucharada de margarina y sofreímos la cebolla. Cuando la cebolla se marchite un poco le agregamos las tiras de espinacas y condimentamos con pimienta y sal al gusto. Debemos cocinar a fuego lento por espacio de 7 minutos y removemos con frecuencia.
Then we put a spoonful of margarine in a frying pan and fry the onion. When the onion wilts a little, add the spinach strips and season with pepper and salt to taste. Cook over low heat for about 7 minutes and stir frequently.
Transcurrido los 7 minutos apagamos el fuego y reservamos.
After 7 minutes, turn off the heat and set aside.
Mezcla para las panquecas:
1.- Mezclamos la harina, el huevo, la leche líquida, las dos cucharadas de azúcar y sal al gusto en la licuadora, excepto la zanahoria.
Mix for the pancakes:
1.- Mix the flour, egg, liquid milk, two tablespoons of sugar and salt to taste in the blender, except the carrot.
2.- Rallamos la zanahoria, la agregamos a la mezcla y dejamos reposar por unos minutos. Un tips: si no tenemos zanahoria podemos sustituirla por remolacha, calabacín rallado o sencillamente si no tenemos vegetales podemos obviarlo.
2.- Grate the carrot, add it to the mixture and let it stand for a few minutes. A tip: if we don't have carrot we can substitute it with beet, grated zucchini or simply if we don't have vegetables we can skip it.
3.- Precalentamos y engrasamos un sartén y colocamos la mezcla para hacer las panquecas, cuando se formen burbujas es el momento de darle vuelta con una espátula, bajamos el fuego y dejamos dorar para luego retirarla del sartén. Repetiremos este procedimiento hasta terminar la mezcla.
3.- Preheat and grease a frying pan and place the mixture to make the pancakes, when bubbles form it is time to turn it over with a spatula, lower the heat and let it brown and then remove it from the pan. Repeat this procedure until the mixture is finished.
Estas panquecas las acompañé con el sofrito de espinacas y con queso guayanés, pero también se pueden acompañar con jamón y queso o con el sirop de su preferencia. Se trata de jugar con nuestra imaginación e innovar con los ingredientes disponibles en nuestra nevera.
I served these pancakes with spinach sofrito and guayanés cheese, but you can also serve them with ham and cheese or with the syrup of your preference. It is all about playing with our imagination and innovating with the ingredients available in our fridge.
