Ingredients
  

Crepe Batter
  • ¾ cup green (unroasted) buckwheat flour
  • ¾ cup quinoa flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • cups water
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • pinch of ground black pepper
Mushroom Filling
  • almond ricotta homemade or store-bought
  • 3–4 cups brown mushrooms sliced
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1–2 cloves garlic minced
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
To Serve
  • sprouts
  • fresh salad greens
  • homemade pesto

Method
 

  1. Prepare the almond ricotta if making from scratch. Set aside.
  2. Make the crepe batter: Add all crepe ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and pourable. The texture should be similar to classic crepe batter.
  3. Cook the crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet lightly greased with olive oil. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling to form a thin crepe. Cook until bubbles appear and edges begin to dry, then flip and cook briefly on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
  4. Prepare the mushroom-spinach filling: Heat a skillet with a small amount of olive oil. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, stirring gently to keep them juicy.
  5. Season and finish the filling: Season with salt, pepper, and cumin. Add the spinach and stir just until wilted. Remove from heat.
  6. Assemble and serve: Spread almond ricotta over each crepe, add the mushroom-spinach filling, and fold in half. Serve with sprouts, fresh salad greens, and pesto if desired.
