‘Give your pancakes a French, Australian or American twist with Rachel Allen’s delicious recipes’
“If you’re looking for a new take on this age-old recipe, try a crepe with banana, salted caramel and cream, wholemeal pikelet with blueberry compote, American pancake with maple syrup and rashers, or buckwheat blini with salmon and creme fraiche
The cooking of pancakes dates way back to prehistoric times where batters made from stoneground flour and water were cooked over fire. Sometimes leavened with yeast and other raising agents, pancakes can take on many slightly dissimilar guises. Essentially flat cakes, pancakes in France are thin and sometimes a little crisp around the edges as the name crepe would suggest: like the thin fabric with a wrinkled surface. Serve with this salted caramel sauce recipe, below, as well as banana slices and softly whipped cream. Once made, the sauce will keep for a month or more. It gets thicker in the fridge so just reheat to serve.”

rachelallencooks Verified Here’s a really quick and easy recipe for Spring lamb chops with mint salsa verde, just delicious at this time of the year. Serves 4-6
For the mint salsa verde: Makes 150ml
1 handful of parsley leaves 1 handful of mint leaves grated zest and juice of 1 small lemon 1 clove of garlic, crushed 1 tbsp capers, rinsed 50ml extra virgin olive oil black pepper
lamb chops (2-3 per person) 1 – 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil salt and pepper
First make the salsa verde, put the mint, parsley, lemon zest, garlic and capers into a food processor and whiz until it’s all finely chopped. Add the lemon juice and olive oil (add more oil if you want it a bit more runny). Check the seasoning – it might not need salt, as the capers can be quite salty.
Next cook the lamb chops, remove excess fat from the chops, but leave about ½ cm still on. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper. Place a frying pan or grill pan on a high heat. When it’s good and hot add the lamb chops and sprinkle with a little salt and more pepper. Cook for approximately 3 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate, cover and leave to rest in a warm oven for 5 minutes. Serve with a good drizzling of the salsa verde. #mint#salsaverde#springlamb
