Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

50g (about 6 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons) buckwheat flour
1 large free-range egg
150 ml (about 2/3 cup) water
Coconut oil, for frying
4 slices of prosciutto
1 small handful of fresh spinach
6 sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut into small pieces
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sift the flour into a large bowl, create a well in the center then break in the egg. Using a whisk, gradually add the water and continue to whisk until the mixture has completely combined and has the consistency of thin cream.

    Step 2

    Add a pinch of salt and pepper and stir through.

    Step 3

    Heat a small amount of coconut oil in a frying pan and pour in a quarter of the mixture to fry.

    Step 4

    Once the base of the pancake has set, add a slice of prosciutto, a small amount of spinach and tomatoes to one half, and fold the pancake over.

    Step 5

    Leave to cook for another 30 seconds before plating up and repeating with the remaining mixture.

Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.
Spaghetti With Cabbage, Pancetta, and Calabrian Chile
Cabbage is the unsung hero of the winter kitchen—available anywhere, long-lasting in the fridge, and super-affordable. It’s also an excellent partner for pasta.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Smashed Pork Tacos
Instead of searing one tortilla at a time, you'll cook eight at once under the broiler.
Kung Pao Cabbage With Tofu
Reliable cabbage is cooked in the punchy sauce and then combined with store-bought baked tofu and roasted cashews for a salad that can also be eaten with rice.
Chicken Breakfast Sausages
Give your favorite breakfast sausage a makeover with ground chicken. A blend of spices (fennel, smoked paprika) and some maple syrup makes these patties shine.
