My New Roots - Freekeh Pancakes with Wilted Swiss Chard and Poached Eggs


I'll start by saying that freekeh is now one of my new favorite foods.  This stuff tastes delicious.  I'll also add that I've never poached eggs before and it is now one of my favorite things to do.


We made this recipe for dinner even though it's listed as a breakfast recipe because it falls a bit more on the savory side and I was eager to try it when my wife mentioned she wanted me to pick up some eggs for the week.  I figured since we were picking up eggs already, we might as well make this recipe while we were at it.


My wife isn't a big fan of runny eggs so we fried hers over hard and she thoroughly enjoyed it that way.

This dish also made great leftovers.  Pile some chard on the pancake for reheating and just make a fresh egg when you're ready.  Whipped dinner up another night in about 10 minutes doing this.

One annoyance that did come up is that it appears Organic Green Swiss Chard at Wegman's is sold in smaller bunches than the Conventional version.  I ended up having to pick up to bunches instead of the one that the recipe called for.  When we stopped by Whole Foods a few days later I notice they carry Rainbow Swiss Chard in Organic that seems to come in the bigger bunches so I may try that next time to get a better deal on the cost.
