The savory 5 “C” Waffles

After the 4 C soup, here is another recipe that puts the letter “C” on the front page…

Courgette (or zucchini 😉 ), curry, curcuma, coriandre and chive all together in the same mixture (how lucky am I to have the same first letter both in French and English??!!). Please applaud the savory 5 C waffles!

Make those super delish waffles with a green salad on the side and you’ll have a delicious dinner.

You can also enjoy this dish as a starter or as appetizers with a savory chantilly cream…

Spices are the key ingredients in this recipe. Let’s be honnest, zucchinis don’t bring much taste, it’s more the “veggie card” here… But curcuma,  curry and ground coriander will bring the perfect balance to this savory waffle. Tasty but not spicy.

You will need 5 to 10 minutes for the preparation and one hour and a half for it to rest (half hour for the zucchini to disgorge and one hour for the batter to rest in the fridge). It is so easy!

The quantities in the recipe will be enough for a dozen of waffles (size 10×12 cm), enough for a 4-5 person meal. I took my usual Gruau D’Or flour, it is the best for me to avoid lumps.
