Ingredients

  • 3/4 c. plain, full-fat yogurt
  • 2 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
  • 2 tbsp. finely chopped tarragon
  • 2 tbsp. finely chopped chervil
  • kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 c. frozen peas
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 c. heavy cream
  • 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • unsalted butter

Method

  • In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt with the chopped parsley, tarragon, and chervil, and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the herbed yogurt until chilled, at least 15 minutes.
  • The herbed yogurt can also be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated overnight.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan of salted boiling water, blanch the peas until crisp-tender, about 1 minute.
  • Drain well and let cool.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle.
  • Generously grease the skillet with butter.
  • Spoon 1-tablespoon mounds of batter into the skillet and cook over moderate heat until lightly browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer, until lightly browned and cooked through.
  • Transfer the pancakes to a platter and keep warm.
  • Brush the skillet with butter as needed and repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve the warm pancakes topped with the herbed yogurt and garnished with peas and herb sprigs.Looking for vegetable recipes?
