For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

For the Pancake Batter:

• 60 grams buckwheat flour
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 120 ml water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder

For the Mushroom Filling:

• 150 grams finely chopped mushrooms
• 50 grams finely chopped onion
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Procedure:

• Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent.Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender.
• Stir in the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are well-seasoned. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
• Mix chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water and let them sit for about 10 minutes to form a gel-like consistency. In a bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, salt, black pepper, and turmeric powder.
• Gradually add water to the flour, whisking to form a smooth batter. Add the chia seeds to the batter.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
  Pour a small amount of pancake batter onto the skillet and spread it into a round shape.
• Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then spoon some of the mushroom filling onto one half of the pancake.
• Fold the other half of the pancake over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
• Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the pancake is golden brown and cooked through.
•  Serve the mushroom-stuffed buckwheat pancakes warm with a side of salad or your favorite dipping sauce.
