Sneha's Recipe: Andorra

Trinxat is staple Andorran side dish of boiled, mashed potatoes and cabbage, fried until crispy, typically served in the cold winters as a hearty meal. I have made a vegan version of this Trinxat. Tradionally Trinxat is made with fried bacon and then fried in the reserved bacon fat. If your want to make a non vegetarian version then add 3 - 4 slices of crispy fried bacon and then make pancakes. I have added chopped scallions greens and parsely to the pancake.

Makes 3
Ingredients
100 Grams Shredded Green Cabbage
150 Grams Potatoes - peeled & cut into chunks
2 Cloves Garlic - minced
1 Tablespoon Finely Chopped Parsley
1 Tablespoon Finely Chopped Scallion Greens
½ Teaspoon Salt or to taste
¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper powder or to taste
Method

Shred the cabbage and cook in salted water along with the potatoes, skinned and cut into large chunks. Cook until the potatoes are tender.
When tender, drain all the water very well. Return the pot along with the garlic and turn on the flame on to low. Let it steam so that any excess moisture is evaporated. When still warm, mash the veggies with a potato masher, add in the scallion greens, parsely, salt and pepper to taste. Using a mould for individual servings, press this mixture into the mould.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry, on medium low flame, for approximately 5 minutes each side or until golden brown. Remove the mould and flip the pancake and cook until golden brown.
If you want to make one big, just use a skillet, pressing the mixture into the skillet , then flip over once golden brown. Cut into servings.

Enjoy with a sauce of your choice!! This was a very simple dish, but tasted really good.
