Zucchini Pancakes with Tomato Relish

I found this recipe on Vegan Dad's Website. They were really good but remember to make them small and flatten them slightly or the centers do not get done.

Tomato Onion Relish


  • 1 Tablespoon oil

  • 1 large sweet onion diced

  • 2 Tablespoons packed brown sugar

  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1 large tomato diced

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt fresh ground black pepper
Directions:


  1. Heat oil in pan over medium heat

  2. Add onions and saute for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent but not browned.

  3. Add brown sugar and vinegar and stir.

  4. Bring to bubbling and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring regularly.

  5. Add the rest of the ingredients and continue cooking about 5 minutes, stirring regularly.

  6. Drain relish in a fine mesh strainer so it is no longer running.

  7. Keep warm.


  • Zucchini Pancakes
    1
    cup all purpose flour or flour of choice

  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • fresh ground black pepper to taste

  • 1/3 cup soy yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2 cup soy milk-more if needed

  • 2 sage leaves finely chopped-I used dried as that is what I had on hand

  • 1 1/2 cups finely shredded zucchini or so-1 small zucchini will do.

  • Chopped Parsley for garnish
Directions:


  1. Whisk together dry ingredients in a medium bowl.

  2. In a separate bowl whisk together, vinegar, yogurt, and soy milk. Squeeze excess moisture out of zucchini and add to liquid ingredients.

  3. Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry, adding a few splashes of soy milk if needed. The batter should be firm, not as runny as pancakes, but not stiff.

  4. Heat a very small amount of oil in a skillet over medium to medium high heat.

  5. Cook the pancakes in a hot skillet about 3 minutes on each side so they get golden and crispy brown. Keep pancakes small and flatten slightly.

  6. You can keep these warm on a rack in a 300 degree oven for about 30 minutes or so if you need to make them ahead.

  7. Serve with the relish and garnish with the parsley.

Enjoy!!!
