Cheese Bannock with wild herbs, olives, carrots and potatoes

Yet another bannock recipe... I really like Bannock, because it´s just so versatile... and the cost for this delicious dish is under 1 €, it is nourishing and does you good.

I took:

7 tablespoons wheat flour
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon curcuma
1 teaspoon jeera
1 teaspoon fenugreek
1 handful nettle seeds
1 tablespoon lesser celandine, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lungwort
a slice of Gouda, one finger thick, finely rasped
two slices of gouda, ca. 1 cm thick per cake
1 teaspoon pepper
1 handful of green olives, finely chopped
2 medium-sized peeled raw potatoes, finely rasped
1 small onion, finely rasped
1 piece of garlic, finely rasped,
1 big carrot, peeled and finely rasped
Water
salt to your liking
Sunflower oil for frying

Mix flour, soda, potatoes, carrot, onion, olives, garlic and rasped Gouda with the spices and herbs. Season with salt to your liking. Mix with water until you have a thick, but even dough. In the meantime, heat an iron pan. Add oil generously, until sizzling hot. With a spoon make cakes and fry swimming in oil at medium temperature from one side. While doing so, add the gouda slices and smear uncooked dough over them until covered. Turn the cake and fry the other side, too, until golden brown.

Enjoy!

You can also prepare them and just warm them by the fireside.

YABR-Cheese bannock

 I almost exclusively feed on bannock and herbs and veggies from the woods these days. It´s cheap, versatile and feeds you, and I even feel healthier this way. For this one I took:

7 tablespoons oat meal

1/2 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon dried hederacea glechoma

2 finely chopped leaves wild garlic

1 half finely chopped onion

pepper to your liking

1 tablespoon cumin

1/2 tablespoon nutmeg

1 knifetip salt

water for a thin dough

6 slices of your favourite cheese;-), mine was gouda;-)

Vegetable oil for frying

heat the pan, add the oil, heat till sizzling temp. Pour in the dough, turn down the temp to milder heat. wait until  the surface shows some bubbles, put the slices of cheese on. Pour some more fresh dough on top. Wait until the surface is dry, flip over. Bake it golden brown. The dough gives out to two big cakes and a little something to my experience.

Afiyet olsún! ;-)
