Savory Zucchini Pancakes - SDAdiet

For the pancakes:
 3 medium zucchinis, grated
 2 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 5 tbsp. water (flax egg)
 ½ cup buckwheat flour
 ½ cup vegan feta cheese, crumbledor firm tufu
 3 spring onions, chopped
 5 sprigs dill, chopped
 1 tsp baking powder
 1 tsp salt (plus extra ½ tsp. salt for draining zucchinis)
 2 tbsp olive oil
 1 tsp ground black pepper
For the sauce:
  cup unsweetened vegan yogurt (such as coconut, soy, or cashew yogurt)(160g)
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 ½ tsp salt
1

Add the grated zucchini to a colander set over a bowl and toss with ½ teaspoon of salt. Let sit for five minutes to release moisture, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible (the zucchini should reduce to roughly half its original volume).

2

In a large bowl, mix the prepared flax egg (let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken before using) with the drained zucchini. Stir in the buckwheat flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, vegan feta, spring onions, dill, baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Combine everything thoroughly.

3

Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon heaping tablespoons of batter into the pan, leaving space between each pancake to prevent them from merging together.

4

Cook for 6-7 minutes until the undersides turn golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until equally golden. Continue with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan between batches as needed to prevent sticking.

5

For the sauce, whisk together the vegan yogurt, garlic, and salt in a small bowl until smooth. Serve as an accompaniment to the warm pancakes.
