Week 4: Spinach Pancakes

I had a pretty busy week last week, so still have a lot of veggies left over. I did have a few people over this weekend, and made mojitos using last week's mint. Mint in savory foods tends not to be my favorite, so this was a perfect use for it.

Yesterday's pick up included:
scallions
Chinese spinach (a LOT of it)
rainbow chard
lettuce
basil

I still had a great deal of Chinese spinach left over from last week, so that was at the top of the list to use for dinner tonight. A search for spinach recipes on gojee.com* turned up this:

I had some light sour cream around so I used that instead of yogurt, and the last of my cilantro instead of the mint. I think my only other substitution was I chopped up the white and light green scallion parts instead of onion. I hardly ever fry anything, but once in a while it is so tasty. I'd thought about just sauteeing up some greens to go with the fish last night, but I'm glad I went the more complicated route. Well worth it.

With the spinach pancakes I pan seared some fresh cod with a little olive oil and smoked paprika, and topped it with basil and scallion. Here is the complete meal, along with my strawberry mojito:

As you can see, I have yet to perfect my fish-cooking technique to wear it stays an intact piece, but it tasted just as good.

*A note about Gojee... They did a massive overhaul of their site (it now includes a big shopping component), which makes the recipe section much more difficult to locate. However, once you manage to, it's just as pretty and helpful as before. To locate the recipes part, click "discover" at the top, and then find "food" or "drinks."
