Tip:
A great filling option for these Beet Pancakes is sautéed grated zucchini. To make it, heat a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet and add chopped onion and garlic. Then, add the grated zucchini and season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to taste. For extra creaminess, dissolve a tablespoon of whole wheat flour in a quarter cup of water and add it to the mixture. Stir well to coat all ingredients.
