This week’s recipe would be a great dish for a lazy weekend brunch, or an easy midweek dinner. We have adapted these crepes from a recipe by Donna Hay, whose food is always easy but delicious, and who is a master of food styling. We love the freshness of the zucchini and pea salad, contrasted with the creaminess of the goat’s curd and the acidity of the lemon juice.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 2 cups watercress
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- sea salt and cracked black pepper
- 200g goat’s curd
- lemon slices, to serve
spinach crepes:
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups (500ml) almond milk
- 3 cups (75g) baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
- sea salt and cracked black pepper
- 2 ½ Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Method:
- To make the spinach crepes, place the flour, eggs, milk, spinach, parsley, salt and pepper in a bowl. Using a hand-held stick blender, blend until smooth. Heat some of the oil in a non-stick frying pan over high heat, then add 80ml of the mixture, swirling to coat the base of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until just set. Remove from the pan and set aside, keeping warm. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter.
- Place the zucchini, peas, watercress, oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl and toss to combine.
- Divide the crepes between plates and top with the goat’s curd, salad and lemon slices. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper to serve.
