Pea Pancake
Remember how mom would add peas to pancakes to help some veggies go down our systems? If yes, then this is the best recipe that you and your sibling can bond over while recollecting those good old days.
Serves: 2-4, Duration: 30 mins
• Ingredients
• 500 g peas and baby spinach
• 1/4 avocado
• 140 g corn flour
• 2 eggs
• Olive oil
Tablespoons of water if needed
Method
• In a cooking pot with boiling water, cook the peas and spinach for 1 minute
• Pour avocado, flour, eggs, olive oil and peas into a food processor. Mash and add water if needed to make a creamy batter.
• Add olive oil to a frying pan. Add a tablespoon of the batter. Fry over low heat until the batter browns, then flip it over to the other side.
• To make even healthier pancakes, you can take a large tray and spray some oil to the surface and place your pancakes on them.
5. Microwave the chillas on high for 2 minutes. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to make 9 more chillas in 3 more batches. The Voltas beko microwave has a large turntable that allows you to maximise your cooking space and make many chillas in no time!
Banana Coconut Milkshake –
This milkshake was not only the best part of summer vacations spent together, but also how the siblings competed against each other to see who finished their milk first!
Duration: 10 mins, Serves: Per person
Ingredients:
• 1 large banana
• 1 spoonful pure cocoa
• 1 spoonful maple syrup
• 150 ml coconut milk
Method
• Place all the ingredients in a mixer
• Mix until the liquid is uniform
• Vary thickness by adding more or less coconut milk
• Once ready, store it in the Voltas Beko refrigerator with StoreFresh™ Technology to lock in the freshness
Fruit Ice Cream
One of the best memories with our siblings was doing things together- both productive and unproductive. This recipe will definitely remind you of the holidays when you both wanted to scream for Ice Cream.
Ingredients:
• Frozen banana
• Other fleshy fruit: Mango, strawberry, peach, blueberry…
• Optional: yogurt, soy yogurt, whipped yogurt…
• Toppings: shaved dark chocolate, dried fruits, grated coconut, sunflower seeds, fruit cubes…
Method
• Cut fruit into cubes or slices, remove peel, stones, and seeds, and freeze them.
• When ready to eat, pour banana slices into the food processor and whip until it has the consistency of ice cream.
• Add the rest of the fruit and whip again. Cream should be at least 50% banana for good texture. And what is even more important in this recipe is to use freshest of fruits! Voltas Beko refrigerators now come with HarvestFresh™ that keeps the fruits and vegetables in their natural original environment long after it's been harvested, preserving their vitamins and freshness for longer.
• Top with desired toppings.
• Prepare it when ready to eat it or 15 minutes before, at most, and keep in the freezer; otherwise, instead of a creamy texture it will be hard ice.
