Look what’s growing in our backyard – a crazy rosemary bush.
I have a feeling we will be using rosemary in a lot of recipes.
Like this pancake recipe. Yes, rosemary in pancakes. I used to always think that pancakes were a sweet dish, but it really just depends on what mix-ins you use (and whether you skip the maple syrup).
Enter the savory pancake!
You’re going to have to trust me on this combo: pancake, pinto beans, rosemary, and eggs.
Sounds strange, but I swear it’s delicious.
Rosemary Pancakes
Ingredients (for one serving):
-
1/2 cup dry pancake mix, prepared according to package directions (I used Namaste brand)
-
1/4 cup canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed
-
1.5 fresh tablespoon rosemary, chopped
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1 egg
Directions:
-
Prepare pancake mix per package directions. For thinner pancakes like mine, add an extra splash of milk.
-
Mix in beans, rosemary, and spices.
-
Cook pancakes as you normally would on a non-stick griddle.
-
Meanwhile, fry an egg in a separate pan. The runnier, the better (to act as ‘syrup,’ although I cooked mine pretty thoroughly because I’m pregnant).
-
Plate pancakes and top with egg.
Side note: I had to laugh at this conversation. This morning, the Husband was in bed, staring at the ceiling (we don’t work until later). I asked him, “So, what are you thinking?†Such an annoying question but I really wanted to know! And he replied…. “Nothing.†I replied, “You really cannot be thinking about nothing. Everyone is always thinking about something.†He turned to me and said, “No, really. I think this is a dude thing. Guys can really think of nothing.â€
So – that being said… Do you ever think about nothing? Am I just far too hyper? Is this a ‘dude thing?’ I really am always thinking about something, even if it’s just a chore to do or a friend I should call or how my feet hurt or how fuzzy James’ fur is.
Love that recipe!! And lucky you with all that rosemary – it’s my favorite herb!
