ASIAN STYLE RICE PANCAKES FROM IBIZA TGGD

I know it hardly seems, likely but this is the place where I discovered these tasty treats.
I lived on Ibiza for almost 5 years in the 80's,( before Club Med..when it was  still Hippy-ish) and as you might have guessed it I DID have the time of my life!...(You will find the recipe in my first book: THE GREAT GRANNY Diet)

The pancakes came via some friends of friends at a Pot Luck dinner
It has taken me over 30yrs to find a good version of this recipe.
I will post more photographs tomorrow


Thursdays Menu

I have made a great Serrano chili pepper tortilla soup, with baked green tortillas also contains fresh avocado, and will be finished with some fresh lime juice at client's home
A green minestrone ( no tomatoes or peppers), and an Asian inspired broccoli with rice noodles.

Followed by

A silky smooth walnut-parsley pesto with gluten free pasta.
A non-dairy creamy asparagus sauce ( the base is white cannelli beans and fresh asparagus blended) also with gluten free pasta.

Some mushroom-leek strudels with cheese..will make tomorrow,

A fabulous lentil and chickpea stew with dried apricots, cinnamon, allspice, raisins and cilantro..it is fabulous and simmered with an Egyptian influenced pomegranate concentrate,( the recipe called form pomegranate molasses but I am trying to cut out extra sweeteners from my dishes) to be finished at  client's home with lime juice and steamed brown rice
