About this time of yr, my meals revolve across the best technique to eat as a lot summer time produce. Sometimes the solutions to which can be grain bowls, however I like to alter it often, like with these oat crepes.
Tomatoes
In our produce pick-up and even in our small backyard, cherry tomatoes are the summer time winner. Throughout peak tomato season, we find yourself with a big mound every week, and the tomatoes discover their approach into the whole lot. Nonetheless, I like meal that highlights the flavour and sweetness of the cherry tomatoes.
You possibly can use common tomatoes on this recipe by chopping the tomato into bite-size items. A evenly cooked squash could be one other wonderful addition as nicely. If it’s not summer time, the harissa/crepe mixture could be good with roasted squash or candy potato.
Crepes
In terms of crepes, I like that they’re so forgiving with whichever flour you may use. When it comes to these oat crepes, I used Bob’s Crimson Mill rolled oats and pulsed them in a blender to make the flour for the crepes. We at all times have rolled oats readily available, and the crepes maintain collectively nicely. In the event you’re searching for different choices, here’s a submit on how I make primary crepes.
Harissa Paste
I maintain an ample provide of dried chile peppers readily available in the course of the yr, primarily to make totally different variations of chile pastes and salsas. Harissa paste has turn out to be a staple in my cooking through the years. I like this North African condiment as a result of it’s versatile: a base for a recipe or the ultimate added contact. You will discover high quality harissa pastes in lots of grocery shops that are available both jar or squeeze tubes.
In the event you’re trying to supply a harissa paste, I’d recommend these ones. You can too attempt making a model at residence (this is the recipe I use), however comprehend it received’t be fairly the identical. Tunisian harissa is made with particular chiles grown within the area.
Beans
Lastly, the beans. This recipe isn’t actually about them, however the beans add heft to make these crepes a meal. I used a model of cannellini, however any number of white bean or chickpea would work. Use what you may have readily available in the event you can.
