Celery Root Pancakes with Cottage Cheese and Smoked Ham
4 servings
50 minutes
We partially borrowed this recipe from Jamie Oliver, but instead of English cheddar we added regular cottage cheese - it turns out cheaper and more tender. By the way, Jamie recommends replacing heavy vegetable puddings with these pancakes - they are similar in composition of ingredients, but look much more modern. We would like to add that you can add any vegetables to the celery: cauliflower, broccoli, parsnips, pumpkin, whatever you like, together or separately .
