Spinach Crepes With Creamy Cashew Filling


I love these crepes with all sorts of fillings, especially salmon, but this creamy cashew one is very good, and suited for vegetarians. I use this dish as an appetizer or a main dish.

Steps


Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
Beat together the egg , yogurt , water and oil.
Gradually pour it onto the flour , beating constantly.
Stir in the spinach and season with pepper and nutmeg.
To make the filling: heat the oil in a pan and saute the scallions until translucent.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Beat together the ricotta , yogurt , and half the gruyere.
Beat in the egg and stir in the parsley.
Season with salt and cayenne.
Lightly brush a small skillet with oil and heat.
Pour in 3-4 tablespoons of the crepe batter and tilt the skillet so that it covers the base.
Cook for about 3 minutes , until bubbles apppear int he center.
Turn and cook the othe side for about 2 minutes , until lightly browned.
Slide the crepe onto a warmed plate , then cover with foil and keep warm while you cook the remaining crepes.
Spread a little of the filling over each crepe and fold in half and then half again , envelope style.
Spoon remaining filling on.
