Peek-A-Boo Carrots Casserole
- 210 g spelt flour
- 3 eggs
- salt
- 600 ml milk, divided
- 3 tablespoons mineral water
- 400 g young carrots
- 1 tablespoon butter
- pepper
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 75 g grated gouda cheese (substitute cheddar)
- fat, and for the casserole form (for frying)
- Preheat the oven to 375 F (200C).
- Grease the casserole form.
- Mix 200 grams flour, eggs, a pinch of salt and 300 (half) of the milk into a smooth batter.
- Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- Thin out batter with mineral water.
- Meanwhile wash, peel and cut the carrots into long lengthwise sticks.
- Heat the butter in a pan and saute the carrots for 5 minutes.
- Add 100 ml of water and cover.
- Let simmer for almost 5 minutes and drain and save the leftover carrot broth.
- Put carrots to the side.
- Stir 1 tablespoon of flour into 1/2 glass of milk until completely dissolved.
- Heat the rest of the milk and carrot juice in a pan and slowly add flour mixture.
- Make a white sauce by bringing to a boil while stirring.
- Remove from heat and add cheese.
- In a round non-stick pan or crepe pan heat 1 tablespoon of fat.
- Using batter make 8 thin crepes.
- After the crepes are finished divide the carrots onto the crepes and roll like enchiladas and set in the casserole dish.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the crepes and bake 20 minutes in the oven until golden.
- Garnish with cut out carrot shapes like pigs or ducks.
- I would like to try other root vegetables or even swiss chard with this dish.
- I think almost any vegetable would be suitable with proper preparation.
