Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I pureed some zucchini to make sneaky veggie pancakes, but the puree is very thin. Will it become thick enough to pancake with the eggs added? Also, do sneaky veggie pancakes freeze? If so, what is the best way to reheat...toaster? What about chicken pancakes?

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I've only made sneaky veggie pancakes with butternut squash. I put 3 or 4 in plastic bags and froze them. Then, I took out a bag, put it in the microwave for 30 seconds, and my son just eats them plain- well, whatever he can wrestle away from my 3 yr old non-diet daughter- she loves them. Same with chicken pancakes- I put 3 or 4 in a plastic bag, froze it, took it out, 30 seconds in microwave. I find the chicken pancakes to be a little chicken-y tasting. Not as well liked as the sneaky veggie pancakes, but with a little homemade pear/cranberry spread, they are eatable.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I might be able to help with the zucchini being to thin. It sounds like ther is just too much moisture in your puree, so I'm wondering how you cooked the zucchini before you pureed it. (I've not yet pureed zucchini, but I noticed that the online recipe for these pancakes just says any pureed veggie.) If you boil them or steam them, I'd suggest letting them sit for a couple of minutes in a colander to make sure they drain off as much moisture as possible, and you could even dry them on a flour sack towel after that if you want. If that is not enough you could try a technique that some cooks use on eggplant; before you cook them slice them up and layer them in a colander with salt on each layer and then let them drain for quite a while in your sink or over a bowl. If you use this techique, I'd suggest that you try cooking them in butter, if you can do butter, in the way you would cook an onion when the directions say to sweat it. The salt will pull moisture out of the veggies and then you will avoid adding extra moisture in by avoiding boiling them. Sheril I am assuming that you cook them first, but if for some reason you busterboymusic wrote: I pureed some zucchini to make sneaky veggie pancakes, but the puree is very thin.

Zucchini can be squeezed in a towel to get out excess moisture before adding to a recipe. Carol F.
