In the previous article we considered the use of Dock’s seeds, grinding it into flour. In today’s article we’ll put this flour to use with two tasty recipes that you can try at home! Each one is very basic, requires minimal ingredients and is based on small servings. To make a larger batch, simply multiply the measurements. Shall we get started?

Dock Seed/Berry Flat Cake

Ingredients for 2 servings

• 1/4 Cup Dock Seed Flour
• 1/4 Cup Berries – Blackberry/Blueberry are Choice. Although in this recipe I was confident enough to use Black Nightshade berries (Solanum nigrum).

  

• Water
• Olive Oil
• Sugar or Honey

Process

With a small sauce pan, add berries and cover with a light coating of either sugar or honey. Crush and Stir.
Bring to simmer on a medium heat, stirring until it becomes a thick syrup. Remove from heat.

In a separate bowl, add Dock seed flour and just enough equal parts water and olive oil to make a pliable “dough” (it will be crumbly).
Carefully mold two flat, palm sized patties and place on a pre-heated/well oiled frying pan (med/high heat).
Fry patty on each side (be very careful when flipping)
Once each side of the patty is cooked to a golden brown, remove from pan and place on a plate.
Add the berry syrup and enjoy!

Cook well on each side (careful when flipping).
Place each patty on a plate and drizzle with Chocolate syrup.
Enjoy!
