I bought the most ridiculously enormous head of cabbage at the farmers market a couple weekends ago. As in quite a lot larger than my head– and for only $3! I had no plans in mind for that cabbage, but it was just so darn big and beautiful so I added it to my market tote and brought it home.
There was barely room in my fridge for it.
If you’ve never heard of Okonomiyaki I’m sure you’re not alone. I’ve only had it once before, when my boyfriend and I went out to dinner at the delicious Portland restaurant Departure. The savory pancake was salty and tender, laden with pork belly and shrimp…and obviously packed with tons of gluten. I only indulged in a couple bites and left the rest for my boyfriend to gobble up.
My version is probably nowhere near traditional. Well, it’s obviously not, since it’s made with almond flour and coconut aminos. But it’s stilled packed with cabbage, oniony scallions, spicy ginger and yummy pork, and it makes for a fantastic snack, an energizing breakfast, or a base for any meal. I’m in love with these savory pancakes! So much so that I ate up the first batch all last week and just whipped myself up another batch to enjoy this week.
I still have half that cabbage left…
