Dairy Free Beef And Watercress Griddle Cakes.
These little cakes don’t just taste great, they are packed full of protein and contain a wealth of nutrients from the fresh watercress. They can also be easily made gluten free just by substituting potato or rice flour. Ideal for a light lunch or supper.
Dairy Free Beef And Watercress Griddle Cakes:
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the griddle cakes warm with the soy sauce on the side for dipping.
