Spinach Pancake Appetizers -

For this beautiful Saturday, I offer you a truly Finnish, truly original dish created by a hungry Anna craving for something fast but yet good. 
Spinach pancakes (and also blood pancakes, which I prefer to stay away from) are a traditional Finnish school lunch food, that is actually SUPER POPULAR with kids.I remember we always had competitions on who could eat the most of the green pancakes with apple-jam. I still love them cooked that way!
So in Finland, you can get spinach pancakes as a ready made meal. If you want to try this and you are not living in a country with such an interesting specialty, go ahead and make regular mini-pancakes and add some pureed spinach into the dough. As we all know, by adding spinach to anything, you will grow strong like Popeye.

This spinach dish can make a full lunch, but I would think they are kinda pretty and extraordinary also for appetizers. It is an adult twist to the traditional kids meal.
Here is how to make them:
prep time: 3 minutes servings: 1 full meal or appetizers for 4
10 spinach pancakes
about 10 teaspoons of basil pesto, I made these with basil-lemon pesto, which was really great!
leafy greens for decoration, I used lettuce, but it would look even better with Fresh basil!
Cut pancakes in fourths, spoons some pesto on them, decorate with greens! Voila:)
