I recently posted about different types of pancake mixes, and I thought I'd share with you a new way I've incorporated pancakes into my daily rapport. Pancakes have crossed over from breakfast to a new time slot: dinner.
Using Debora Madison's recipe for Corn Cakes, I was able to transform an otherwise-known breakfast food into something savory and delicious.
To top these babies off, we didn't drizzle on syrup, but rather made a quick relish of tomatoes, green peppers, hot banana peppers, jalapenos, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Let me tell you, the oils from these hot peppers stay on your fingers, and I had one heck of a time getting my contacts out that night. Any suggestions for avoiding this? Apparently prevention is the best medicine here, and I should have used gloves, but who knew banana peppers were so hot?
On top of that, we sprinkled black beans, thick and meaty slices of tomatoes and some leftover rice. And there you have it - pancakes for dinner.
Question of the Day: Do you ever eat breakfast foods for dinner?
I love breakfast so much I would eat it for any meal!
ReplyDeleteBreakfast at dinner is such a great treat - those corn cakes look delicious!
what a great idea!!! it's just like a savory crepe! and um, let me know what you find out about peppers. Chopping haberanos without gloves=probably not the best idea
ReplyDeleteYum! I love savory pancakes and these look wonderful... Breakfast for dinner is just about the best thing in the world :)

I love savory pancakes! I added leftover veggies to mine once and they were deeeelish!
ReplyDeleteHey girl! I eat breakfast all the time for dinner! Usually eggs, sometimes oats, but I've never tried savory pancakes. They look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've had the same thing happen to me while making salsa-I had a hard time taking out my contacts several hours (and handwashes) later, and I burned my eyes so badly that I couldn't wear them for a week! I bought some rubber gloves for the next batch and it defintely helped.
