Instructions

To make the spiced squash

  • Pre heat your oven to 180c.

  • Set aside.

To make the slaw

  • Finely slice the cabbage into long strips.
  • Cut the spring onion diagonally, Add them all to a large bowl along with the chopped mint.

To make the pancakes

  • Add the flour and salt to a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add in the water, oil and vinegar. Mix to a smooth batter. Set aside for 10 minutes.
