World Travels - Ireland

 

I was inspired to delve into some Irish recipes by watching the fabulous CMAT at Glastonbury Festival on the television... I currently have her song 'The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station' on repeat and decided to bop around to it whilst making this vegan and gluten free version of an Irish classic boxty - a potato pancake.

There are a number of recipes for boxty but mainly they involve them including finely grated, raw potato and frying them.  I took 'The Fiery Vegetarian's' version of boxty and just replaced the ordinary flour with chickpea flour (gram flour).  Chickpea flour is my go to for making gluten free options for friends and myself (I do love chickpeas). I fried the boxty in Naturli Vegan 'butter' which is about the best butter replacement I have found.  It has a great 'buttery' taste and is great for cakes, especially the Naturli Vegan Block.

Anyway, the boxty fried up a treat into light fluffy potato goodness. Served with a bit of vegan yoghurt and spring onions it was a beautiful supper dish.
