Today I will share with you a delicious and hearty recipe, perfect for fasting days or for those who want to explore a healthier diet. These Brașov-style pancakes filled with soy and mushrooms are not only tasty but also very versatile. Let's get started! Preparation time - Preparation time: 20 minutes - Cooking time: 30 minutes - Total time: 50 minutes - Servings: 4 Ingredients For the pancakes: - 200 g flour - 400 ml mineral water or still water - 1 pinch of baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt For the filling: - 50-70 g soy cubes - 5-6 larger champignon mushrooms - 200-300 g mixed Mexican vegetables (frozen or fresh) - Spices: salt, pepper, basil, oregano - 1 tablespoon olive oil For the sauce: - 1/2 stick of vegan cream (e.g., Gordon with mushrooms) - 1 tablespoon tomato paste or ketchup - Oregano and basil (to taste) For frying: - Breadcrumbs (about 100 g) - Oil for frying (enough to cover the bottom of the pan) Step by step 1. Preparing the pancakes We start by preparing the pancake batter. In a large bowl, sift the flour to avoid lumps. Add the salt and baking powder, then gradually pour in the mineral water, constantly mixing with a whisk or wooden spoon. We obtain a smooth batter that should be slightly fluid but not too thick. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. In a non-stick pan, add a little oil and heat it well. Pour in a ladle of batter and quickly spread it in circular motions to obtain thin pancakes. Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Remove them to a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm. 2. Preparing the filling In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the soy cubes. Boil for 10 minutes, then drain well and cut the cubes into quarters to reduce their size. In a pan, add a tablespoon of oil and sauté the soy with the diced mushrooms. Season with salt, pepper, basil, and oregano, letting everything brown for about 5 minutes. Separately, in a pot, add the mixed vegetables and a bit of oil and water to steam them. Cover and let them cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Then, add the soy with the mushrooms and mix well, leaving everything on the heat for another minute. 3. Preparing the sauce In a small bowl, mix the vegan cream with the tomato paste or ketchup. Add oregano and basil to taste, creating a savory sauce that will perfectly complement the pancakes. 4. Assembling the pancakes On each pancake, place a portion of the soy and mushroom filling. Roll the pancakes like stuffed cabbage rolls, then place them on a plate. Brush each roll with the prepared sauce and then coat them in breadcrumbs. 5. Frying the pancakes In a deep pan, add enough oil to cover the bottom and heat it well. Fry the stuffed pancakes until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove them to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serving suggestions These Brașov-style vegan pancakes can be served warm, alongside a fresh vegetable salad or with vegan yogurt sauces. Additionally, a side of mashed potatoes or rice can perfectly complement this dish. Variations For a different taste, you can add other vegetables of your choice to the filling, such as grated carrots or zucchini. You can also experiment with spices, adding a bit of chili for extra heat. Nutritional benefits These pancakes are rich in protein due to the soy, while the mushrooms add a significant amount of fiber and vitamins. Additionally, the mixed vegetables contribute to a varied nutrient intake, making this dish a healthy choice. Frequently asked questions Can I use another type of flour for the pancakes? Yes, you can use whole wheat or oat flour for a healthier option. What sauces can I add? Besides the tomato sauce, you can try a mustard sauce or vegan tzatziki. How long can I keep the pancakes? The stuffed pancakes can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the oven or in a pan. Conclusion These Brașov-style vegan pancakes are not only a simple recipe but also a delicious way to bring a bit of variety to your meals. With a combination of textures and flavors, I am sure you will love every bite! Try making them and adapting them to your taste, and your loved ones will be delighted with the final result. Enjoy your meal!
