Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (150g) chopped broccoli

• 4 cups (140g) packed spinach
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 scallions, chopped

Guidelines
Step 1: Get the veggies ready

In a saucepan, bring the water to a rolling boil. When the broccoli is cut and still brilliant green, add it and blanch it for two to three minutes.
To halt the cooking process, drain the broccoli and immediately place it in a basin of icy water. Once again, drain and lay away.
Blanch the spinach in the same saucepan for one to two minutes, or until it wilts.

Remove extra water by draining and squeezing the spinach. Chop the spinach finely and set it aside for later use.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients

In a large mixing basin, whisk the eggs until well combined.
To the bowl, add the grated Parmesan cheese, sliced scallions, baking soda, panko breadcrumbs, blanched broccoli, and chopped spinach.

Stir everything until well mixed. The batter has to remain cohesive while being thick.
Cook the Pancakes in Step 3

In a large, nonstick skillet, preheat the olive oil over medium heat.
For each pancake, take approximately 1/4 cup of the batter and put it on the skillet. Using the back of a spoon, gently press the batter into the shape of a pancake.
Cook the pancakes for three to four minutes on each side, or until they are well cooked and golden brown.
After cooking, place the pancakes on a platter covered with paper towels to absorb extra oil.
Step Four: Present

If preferred, top the hot broccoli pancakes with chopped scallions and more grated Parmesan cheese.
You may have these pancakes by themselves, as a side dish to go with a main entrée, or with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
