Wild Mushroom and Spinach Crepes with French Herbs
- 1/2 cups Soy Milk
- 23 cups Purified Water
- 1/4 cups Melted Earth Balance
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 Tablespoons Water, Only If Needed After Refrigerating
- 2 Tablespoons Earth Balance
- 1 cup Shiitake Mushrooms, Sliced
- 1 cup Chanterelle Mushrooms, Sliced
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Herbes De Provence
- 1 pinch Salt And Pepper
- 1 sprig Parsley, For Garnish
- For the crepes: Whisk together all of the crepes ingredients until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
- Pour the batter into a large measuring cup with a spout for pouring, and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- While the batter is refrigerating, prepare your filling.
- If you find the batter gets too thick while in the fridge, simply add water a tablespoon at a time until it becomes a thin pancake batter consistency.
- Preparing the crepes: Spray a medium skillet with oil, and wipe it off slightly with a cloth or towel.
- You want the pan to be lightly greased so that the crepes do not stick, and not overly oily.
- Pour some of the batter into the pan, and while holding the handle, roll the batter around until all the edges are covered.
- Allow the thin crepe to cook for about 4-5 minutes, and until it appears a light golden color.
- Flip, and cook on the other side for a much shorter duration; approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Storing: While I was preparing all of the crepes, I stored each cooked crepe in the oven on low heat.
- If you want to reheat the crepe the next day, thats easy too!
- Simply reheat the crepe on a low medium heated pan until its heated.
- Remember, no need to cook the crepe again.
- For the filling: Heat a medium skillet on medium high, and add the Earth Balance to the pan.
- When its melted, add the shiitake mushrooms, and a pinch of salt.
- Allow the mushrooms to saute for a few minutes until they start to caramelize then add the Chanterelle Mushrooms and balsamic vinaigrette, and another scant pinch of salt and pepper if you choose.
- Allow all of the mushrooms to become tender, and turn a light golden brown.
- Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set them aside.
- Turn the burner down to medium.
- Add the spinach directly to the mushroom pan.
- Allow the spinach to wilt slightly, and add the garlic, and Herbes de Provence.
- I used an herb grinder, and sprinkled on about 1/4 teaspoon of herbes until it was to my liking.
- Feel free to use less or more depending on what you prefer.
- Combine the mushrooms with the spinach mixture, and give it a light stir.
- Set aside (or keep on low heat), until your crepes are ready to go.
- Assemble by spooning the mushroom and and spinach mixture into the middle of a warmed crepe and rolling it up.
- Add a light sprinkling of balsamic vinaigrette to the crepe (if youd like), and fold.
- Garnish with parsley and a side salad and serve immediately.
