Summer Vegetable Crepes image

Crêpes aren't just for dessert--they make a quick and savory weeknight dinner. Here they're filled with ricotta cheese, green beans, zucchini and corn and topped with a chive-cream sauce. Don't skip the step of placing a piece of parchment or wax paper under each crêpe as you fill it--without it, the crêpes are tricky to roll. Serve with: A tossed salad.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup reduced-fat sour cream
½ cup chopped fresh chives, divided, plus more for garnish
3 tablespoons low-fat milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups chopped zucchini
1 ¼ cups chopped green beans
1 cup fresh corn kernels, (from 1 large ear; see Tip)
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 9-inch "ready-to-use" cr˻pes, (see Tip)

Steps:

  • Stir sour cream, 1/4 cup chives, milk, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, green beans and corn and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low; stir in ricotta, Monterey Jack, the remaining 1/4 cup chives, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook, stirring gently, until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • To roll crepes, place one on a piece of parchment or wax paper (or leave it on the piece of plastic separating the crepes in the package). Spoon one-fourth of the vegetable-cheese mixture (about 3/4 cup) down the center of the crepe. Use the paper (or plastic) to help you gently roll the crepe around the filling. Place the crepe seam-side down on a dinner plate. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Serve each crepe topped with 2 tablespoons of the reserved sauce and more chives, if desired.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups of shredded rutabaga, parsnips, or sweet potato (from about 2 medium vegetables), shredded on the medium holes of a box grater
1 medium yellow onion, grated on the medium holes of a box grater
3 large egg whites, beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more if needed so mixture just holds together
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup coconut or grapeseed oil
Flaky sea salt
1/4 cup sour cream or crème fraîche
2 scallions, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the grated root veggies and onion in a large kitchen towel and wring out any liquid, then add them to a medium bowl.
  • Stir in the egg whites. Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the oil over medium-high heat. Use a scant 1/4 cup measure to scoop pancakes into the skillet, using the bottom of the measuring cup to spread the mixture into 1/2-inch-thick patties. Cook until the first side is deeply golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes, then turn the pancakes over and brown the other side, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer the pancakes to a wire rack to cool slightly. Work in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
  • Serve the pancakes topped with a few pinches of flaky sea salt, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of scallions.
  • Variation
  • If you want these guys a little spicy, mince 1/2 a jalapeño or Fresno chile and add it to the mixture before frying.

FLUFFY SHREDDED PANCAKE (KAISERSCHMARRN) WITH PLUM SAUCE



Fluffy Shredded Pancake (Kaiserschmarrn) with Plum Sauce image

Kaiserschmarrn are like soft rustic pancakes that have been torn and scrambled up. I first ate them when I visited Germany and Austria with my dad when I was little and immediately took to the fluffy sugary nature of the dish. I later had them again on my honeymoon and they were just as delicious as I remembered.

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 large eggs, separated
6 tablespoons (74 grams) sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 cup (184 grams) whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
6 tablespoons (85 grams) melted and cooled unsalted butter
Plum Sauce, recipe follows
Confectioner's sugar, for dusting
3 medium purple plums, pitted and chopped into 1/2 inch pieces (about 330 grams)
1/2 cup (160 grams) plum jam or preserves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Whisk the egg whites in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until foamy. Stream in 3 tablespoons of the sugar and the salt. Whisk on medium high just until the whites form stiff peaks, about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl until lightened, about 30 seconds. Add the flour, nutmeg, milk, vanilla and almond extracts. Whisk until smooth. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the melted butter just to combine. Stir in about a third of the egg whites to loosen the mixture, then use a large rubber spatula to gently fold in the remaining egg whites just until combined.
  • Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter and swirl to coat the skillet. Add the pancake batter and spread out gently with a spatula. Let cook on the stovetop just until the edges begin to set, about 1 minute. Transfer to the oven and bake until the top is puffed and the pancake is set, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • When the pancake is done, remove from the oven and place on the stovetop over low heat. Use 2 metal spatulas or large metal spoons to quarter the pancake, then turn all of the pieces and cut into rough (about bite sized) chunks in the skillet. Sprinkle with the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and remaining melted butter. Toss well to fully coat. Cook and toss over low heat until the edges of the pieces are caramelized and golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • To serve, dust with confectioner's sugar and serve with the warm plum sauce.
  • While the pancake bakes, make the plum sauce. In a small saucepan, stir together the plums, jam or preserves, lemon juice, water and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the plums are tender and the mixture is syrupy, about 4 minutes.
