almost anything with feta is good in my book. when i saw this recipe on smittenkitchen.com i just had to share. who doesn't need another version of carrot salad? if you don't have harissa at your local market, just make your own: recipe #10251.

from one of the moosewood cookbooks. a favorite with my lunch bunch.

💬 Reviews (Yay! These were terrific! I am on the quest for the perfect buckwheat pancakes and these are the best I've tried so far- I substituted the egg whites with one whole egg, subbed canola oil for the melted butter and used whole wheat pastry flour for the all-purpose. I actually skimped a little on the flour because since its whole wheat, it has more protein and is more absorbant, so I usually use 2/3-3/4 cup for every cup called for of white flour. With this I had to use just about the full amount to make the batter thick enough! So, the first couple where I scrimped on flour were flatter, but after I got the consistancy right, they were fluffy, tender and delightful! Thanks for posting.)

another gem i discovered on world hearth circle of international cooking. my posted recipe for north african seasoning mix is from the same website. prep time does not include marinating time.

💬 Reviews (Very nice, fluffy pancakes, as everyone agrees. The texture is lovely. I used a whole egg and all-purpose flour. I think next time I would like to either add more buckwheat flour or try the whole wheat flour, as I felt the flavor was just slightly lacking. (I would really like to give 4 1/2 stars.))

this recipe was in a packet of recipes from my dd's culinary school - international hot foods. i have had to add approximate times to the process. i have not tried it.

💬 Reviews (AWESOME! Loved these!!! I did sub the AP flour with whole wheat and we loved them. I also left out the butter (in a healthy mood this morning). Texture was GREAT. I sprinkled oats on the top of the batter right after I poured the batter on the griddle. I have some leftover pancakes that I'll freeze and enjoy as a breakfast treat this week. Thanks!!)

👩 description

a more lemony flavor than the chicken noodle soups we are used to.

💬 Reviews (These were nice, but even though I used whole wheat pastry flour I felt there was something lacking in the flavor. These were good, but not as good as pancakes I've made with a mix from the health food store, so I'm giving 4 stars even though they were really quite tasty.)

a great recipe from green living

💬 Reviews (these turned out very nice. i too replaced the AP flour with whole wheat pastry flour. i replaced the milk with equal parts yogurt, milk, and water, too. they came out nice but a bit too thick actually. i added some water into the second and third batches and the texture was just right at the cost of a little bit of a watered down recipe. as the recipe is now i would say it makes a delicious, smart meal, if a bit thicker than the pancakes we all grew up with. this will be my default weekend pancake recipe from now on by the way. thanks a bunch!)
