Celery Root Pancakes with Cottage Cheese and Smoked Ham
Appetizers • European
Description
This recipe is inspired by a popular chef, but instead of English cheddar, we’ve used regular cottage cheese — making it both cheaper and creamier. By the way, the chef suggests replacing heavy vegetable puddings with these pancakes — they are similar in ingredients but look much more modern. Additionally, feel free to add any vegetables to the celery root: cauliflower, broccoli, parsnip, pumpkin, whatever you like, either together or separately.
