Zucchini pancakes with Adyghe cheese are a delicate and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine, combining the freshness of vegetables and the softness of cheese. Adyghe cheese gives the pancakes a pleasant creamy texture, while oat flour makes them light and airy. Historically, such dishes were found in rural kitchens where housewives used available seasonal products. The taste of the pancakes is rich with herbal notes of dill and mint, with a slight spiciness from cayenne pepper. These pancakes can be served as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to meat. The perfect combination is with chorizo, sour cream, and lime, adding freshness and contrasting flavor notes. A great choice for breakfast or a light dinner!
