Hello foodie friends! ๐ฎ๐ฒ Yesterday, while navigating the work-from-home routine, a culinary muse struck me, and the result was too good not to share! ๐ฅโจ
Quinoa Crepes Evolution:
โขThe journey began with 200g of quinoa seeds soaking overnight, later blended into a batter.
โขThree eggs, a pinch of sea salt, white pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg joined the mix, creating the base for my delightful crepes.
โขCooked with a hint of duck fat on a sizzling cast iron pan, these crepes earned their golden stripes.
The Filling Magic:
โขMeanwhile, a vibrant filling took shape in the food processor. Roast turkey(leftover), a spring onion, garlic, parsley, and a half-zucchini danced together until they formed a savoury batter.

Dairy-Free Bรฉchamel Adventure:
โขNo dairy? No problem! I crafted a creamy bรฉchamel sauce using 200g of cashews soaked overnight, adding a touch of decadence to the ensemble.
Assembly & Baking Extravaganza:
Crepes cooled at room temperature, waiting to embrace their flavourful destiny.
Each crepe cradled a generous scoop of the leftover batter, turning them into savoury cannelloni.
A baking tray, a splash of duck fat, a layer of bรฉchamel, a layer of batter, and the filled crepes found their cozy spots.
