Dairy Free Beef And Watercress Griddle Cakes Recipe.

Serves 2

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 100g lean minced beef
• 1 bag watercress roughly chopped plus a few sprigs to garnish
• 3 spring onions, finely chopped
• 3 eggs
• 30g plain flour, wholewheat flour or gluten-free flour
• 2 tbsp water
• Pinch salt
• Pinch black pepper
• 4 tbsp vegetable oil
• Soy sauce to serve, or for gluten free use wheat-free tamari

Method:

How To Make:

1. Firstly, fry the beef with a large pinch of salt until brown in a large frying pan, then drain on a paper towel. Once drained, stir together with the watercress and spring onions in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, flour and water with a pinch of salt until fully combined. Add to the beef and watercress mixture, adding more flour if consistency seems too thin.
3. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a griddle or frying pan over a medium heat. Measure out 2 tbsp of the mixture per cake and drop into the skillet. Fry until brown, then flip and brown on the other side.
4. Remove the cake and place on a warm plate lined with greaseproof paper, keeping covered until serving. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil when required.
5. Serve the griddle cakes warm with the soy sauce on the side for dipping.

Make the Most of Autumn’s Rich Harvest with Watercress.

With the arrival of Autumn comes nature’s rich harvest – fabulous root veg, fruit, nuts and seeds – all begging to be united in mouth-watering combinations, some warming and filling, some simple and light, but all delicious.

Development Chef Keri Astill-Frew has taken the best of nature’s larder and conjured up some autumn magic blending it effortlessly with that ultimate healthy powerhouse, watercress.

By October we’re coming to the end of the UK watercress season, however, The Watercress Company owns and works beds in Spain and Florida to ensure a year-long supply of British farmed watercress.

Good news for us all as it only makes sense to eat more of this flavoursome leaf which gram for gram contains more calcium than milk.

More folate than banana, more Vitamin C than oranges and more Vitamin E than broccoli, while compelling scientific research suggests that there is a powerful link between watercress and cancer prevention.

Welcome the change in season with these three fabulous autumn recipes.

Over the next few days, I will share them all, starting with Pumpkin risotto with watercress pesto (v). Pumpkin Risotto With Watercress Pesto(v). So tasty.
