Cauliflower Scallion Pancakes

If you would like to have a low carb version of Scallion Pancakes, try riced cauliflower!  I'm sure you have heard of cauliflower crust pizza.  Delicious right?  Well, this is the same principle.  


Start by grilling a whole bunch of scallions.  Set aside.


Get some riced cauliflower.  Trader Joe's has some pre-riced cauli, use half a bag.  Use half of a cauliflower head if you are ricing your own.   I will make something with the other half of the bag next time.


The pre-riced is even better if it is popped into a blender and riced a bit more.  Microwave for 4 minutes. Season with salt.


Grease a lined baking tray with a bit of coconut oil.  


Let the microwaved cauli cool.  Meanwhile, chop the scallions, as shown.  Add 2 beaten eggs, mix throughly.  Divide the quantity of the mixture in half, in two rounds on the baking tray.  Using a fork, press into rounds about the size of a normal tortilla, as shown.  You may need to dab the rounds with a towel if they are too moist.


Bake in a preheated 450 deg F oven.  for 15 minutes, or until slightly browned.  Flip the pancakes over.  Bake 15 more minutes until golden brown.


 The scallion pancakes are delicious with a dipping sauce.

1/4 c. Tamari
1/4 c. rice wine vinegar
A couple of dashes of Mirin
1 dash of chili oil
a tbsp. of honey
A dash of sesame oil
2 tbsp, grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, grated



Mix in a heat proof jar, then microwave for 30 seconds.  Stir.  Serve, you can reserve some for pancakes the next time.



For a different texture with a nice flavour kick, try sprinkling with ground crunchy mochi.
