HERB RICOTTA CREPES
Crepes are another name for blintzes, which can be filled with either sweet or savory flavors. This all-purpose savory filling is good all by itself or paired with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, cheese, spinach, or your favorite veggies.

HERBED CREPES WITH RICOTTA, GREEN PEPPERS AND TOMATO SAUCE
These versatile crêpes are equally suitable for weeknight meals or for dinner parties. Both the crêpes and the tomato sauce can be made well ahead of time and frozen. Or for a short cut, you could use a prepared sauce. If you have crêpes in the freezer, and take them out in the morning, made with a prepared sauce, this becomes an easy weeknight dinner. The crêpes only need 20 minutes in the oven! If you are serving the crêpes for a dinner party - either as an elegant entrée or, with a salad and crusty rolls, as an attractive and flavoursome main course - have the complete dish fully assembled and in the fridge, until you are ready to put it in the oven. Then you can be enjoying your guests' company until moments before you are ready to serve. Since this recipe is most likely to be made in stages, I have not included the one hour chilling time for the batter in the estimated preparation time. This recipe is from the April 1991 edition of Gourmet magazine.

Steps:
- Making the Crêpe Filling: Add the oil to a pan, over a medium heat, and when it is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the bell pepper, stirring, until it is softened, add the garlic, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. In a bowl stir together the bell pepper mixture, the ricotta, and 1/3 cup of the Parmesan with salt and pepper to taste and let the filling cool.
- Making the Crêpe Batter: In a blender or food processor, blend the flour, the broth, the eggs, the butter, and the salt for 5 seconds. Turn off the motor, with a rubber spatula scrape down the sides of the container, and blend the batter for 20 seconds more. Transfer the batter to a bowl, stir in the herbs, and let the batter stand, covered, for 1 hour. The batter may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. This makes enough batter for about 12 crêpes.
- Making the Herbed Crêpes: Heat a crepe pan or non-stick skillet measuring 6" to 7" across the bottom over moderate heat until it is hot. Brush the pan lightly with the butter, heat it until it is hot but not smoking, and remove it from the heat. Stir the batter, half fill a 1/4-cup measure with it, and pour the batter into the pan. Tilt and rotate the pan quickly to cover the bottom with a layer of batter and return any excess batter to the bowl. Return the pan to the heat, loosen the edge of the crêpe with a spatula, and cook the crêpe for 1 minute, or until the top appears almost dry. Turn the crêpe, cook the other side lightly, and transfer the crêpe to a plate. Make the rest of the crêpes with the remaining batter in the same manner, brushing the pan lightly with butter as necessary. The crêpes may be made 3 days in advance, kept stacked with a sheet of greaseproof paper between each crêpe, wrapped in plastic wrap, and chilled.
- Assembling the Crêpes: Spread about 2 tablespoons of the filling on each crêpe and roll up jelly-roll fashion. Arrange the crêpes, seam sides down, in a buttered shallow baking dish just large enough to hold them in one layer, brush them lightly with the butter, and sprinkle them with the remaining Parmesan. Bake the crêpes in the middle of a preheated 400°F oven for 20 minutes and serve them with the sauce.
- Making the Tomato Sauce: Roughly chop the canned tomatoes in the can with the edge of a spoon, then add them with the juice to a pan, stir in the salt, the sugar, the tomato paste, the basil, and the cayenne, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer it, stirring, for 20 minutes. Add the fresh tomatoes and cook the mixture for 5 minutes. Serve the sauce warm. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.
- Notes: If you want this to be a vegetarian dish, use vegetable broth. For variation, or if you prefer, use spinach in place of the green pepper. If you like your food spicy, add half a fresh jalapeno pepper to the tomato sauce.

Steps:
- For the crepes batter: Stir the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Combine the milk, water, eggs and melted butter in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add the flour mixture. Blend just until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender carafe. Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, if time allows.
- For the filling: Combine the sliced strawberries and 2 tablespoons of honey in a medium bowl. Refrigerate 30 minutes, if time allows.
- Beat the drained fresh ricotta with the remaining 3 tablespoons honey, mint and lemon zest in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon until light and smooth.
- Heat a nonstick crepe pan or large nonstick saute pan over a medium flame. Spray with the cooking spray. Ladle about 2 ounces of the crepe batter into the center of the pan and swirl. When the center begins to set, flip with a spatula and continue cooking until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining crepe batter (it will make 8 to 10 crepes).
- Fill the crepes with the ricotta mixture and roll up. Spoon the strawberries over the crepes. Dust with the confectioners' sugar.

- Place ingredients into a blender in the order listed. Blend until smooth, scraping sides as you go. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours. (I skipped the refrigeration and just strain out any lumps.)
- To fry crepes, heat a skillet over medium high heat. Be sure to choose one that holds heat well that you can hold comfortably with one hand. Cast iron is great for this. (I have a special non-stick crepe pan.) Pour in about ½ teaspoon oil and swirl to coat bottom of pan. Hold the pan up off the heat and pour a small stream of batter into the hot pan with one hand while simultaneously rotating the pan with your other hand to cover the batter evenly across the bottom. Continue rotating the pan until the batter is evenly coated. Fry until golden brown spots form on the bottom {about 20 seconds}. Flip and cook the other side another 15 seconds and remove to a plate. It might take you a few tries to get the technique down, but once you get it, you’ll be a pro. Add in a few dribbles of oil as needed, usually after every 3 or 4 crepes. Cover cooked crepes with foil to keep warm.
- To serve, fill warm crepes with filling and roll or fold together. Top with powdered sugar, if desired.
