Ingredients

Pancake ingredients
200 g GOFREE Rice Pops
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 medium egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
284 ml carton buttermilk
50 ml skimmed milk
2 teaspoons fresh red chilli, finely chopped
2 olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
200 g thick Greek yoghurt
fresh coriander
Salsa ingredients
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 fresh corn on the cob, ears sliced off and dried in kitchen towel
400 g chickpeas, well drained and dried in kitchen towel
0.5 red onion, very finely chopped
4 ripe vine tomatoes, chopped
6 tablespoons fresh coriander, roughly chopped

Instructions

Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a wok or large frying pan.
Add the corn and chickpeas sauté over a high heat to take a little colour, then add the onion and soften for 1 minute.
Tip into a bowl and add the chopped tomatoes and season well with salt and pepper.
Next place 150g of the NESTLÉ GOFREE Rice Pop into a food processor and blitz on high speed for 1 minute.
Tip the Rice Pop flour, baking powder, salt into a bowl and mix really well.
In a separate bowl place the egg, oil, buttermilk and fresh chilli and whisk well together.
Gradually add the wet mix to the dry mix; you should end up with a loose but thickish batter, with a dropping consistency. You may need to add a little milk if the batter is too thick.
Just before cooking add the last 50g Rice Pops.
Heat a large non stick frying pan and then add the 2 tbsp of oil.
Spoon in the pancake mixture making 4 small pancakes.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, and then flip over; they should be light brown. Repeat and keep them warm.
When ready to serve, lay 2 pancakes onto a warm plate.
Top the pancakes (2 each) with the corn mixture, evenly.
Top with more fresh chopped coriander and a nice spoon of thick Greek yoghurt.
