North Croatian Fried Chicken Crepes Food

NORTH CROATIAN DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauté finely minced onion on butter and when transparent add flour. Sauté for 2 more minutes and add water and make creamy sauce.
• Mince dill and add into sauce. Season it with salt and pepper. Add some water and cook 10 to 15 minutes.
• Mix yolk, lemon juice and sour cream. Before serving cool sauce to 70°C and add sour cream mixture. Stir and serve.

CROATIAN PALAčINKE CREPES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs and milk until well combined. Mix in the club soda.
• Add the flour and salt and stir with a whisk until only a few lumps of flour remain.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. As the flour is absorbed by the wet ingredients, the batter will smooth out.
• Once rested, stir the batter until smooth (though a few lumps are ok) to prepare for cooking the crepes .
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet. Add 1 of the teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon of the oil.
• Add about 1/4 cup of batter to the pan, tilting and swirling so it covers most of the bottom of the pan.
• Cook about 2 to 3 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned. Flip over and brown the second side. Remove to a platter.
• Continue with the cooking process, adding the remaining butter and oil as necessary-probably every third crepe. Stack the cooked crepes to keep warm. Serve and enjoy.

CREAMY CHICKEN CREPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C).
• Mix condensed chicken soup, mayonnaise, cream, onion, lemon juice, curry powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add chopped chicken; stir to combine.
• Divide chicken mixture equally in the center of each crepe. Fold sides and roll crepes. Place rolled crepes, seam-side down, in a baking dish. Sprinkle crepes with Cheddar cheese and drizzle with 1/3 cup cream.
• Bake in preheated oven until crepes are heated through and Cheddar cheese is golden and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.

CHICKEN CREPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add spinach and stir until wilted. Transfer to a work surface, chop, and set aside.
• Mix 3/4 cup bechamel with chicken. Working with one at a time, place crepe on a work surface. Arrange 1/4 cup chicken mixture and 1 heaping tablespoon spinach down center of crepe; roll into a cylinder. Transfer, seam-side down, to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; assemble and arrange more crepes, leaving 1/2 inch in between each. Spoon more bechamel on top and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until bubbly, about 15 minutes. Switch oven to broiler setting and cook until browning in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with parsley.

NORTH CROATIAN FRIED CHICKEN CREPES

Steps:

• For the stuffing: sauté finely minced onion until translucent. Cut chicken meat to small pieces and sauté with onion until white and done. Cut pickled cucumbers into small pieces and add into chicken. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and sauté for 2-5 minutes. Cool it and add sour cream (if you think stuffing is too liquid you can add some breadcrumbs in it, but be careful - not too much.
• Make crepes, approximately 6-8 pieces (2 eggs, 250 ml milk and some flour).
• Put stuffing on each crepe and fold it like cigar. Close the ends folding ends of cigar with finger (push into hole).
• Whisk eggs like you make omelet. Put each "cigar" crepe first into flour, than eggs, and than breadcrumbs (like for Wiener schnitzel).
• Fry them in deep oil until golden on each side. Serve with Tartar sauce and lettuce salad.

CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS CREPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish. Combine the chicken, ricotta, 1/2 cup parmesan, 3 tablespoons herbs, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling across the lower half of each crepe; roll up to enclose the filling. Place the crepes, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake until the filling is hot, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook until it softens, about 1 minute. Add the asparagus and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, lemon zest and the remaining 1 tablespoon herbs and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the crepes among plates, top with the asparagus and sauce, and sprinkle with parmesan.

ROUND TWO RECIPE: CHICKEN CREPES

Steps:

• Whisk together the baking mix, milk, eggs, and half of the butter until smooth. Let rest for 10 minutes.
• Heat a 7-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush it with a little of the remaining butter. Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pan, swirling it so the batter evenly covers the bottom of the pan. The first one may not work out so just eat it. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter, stacking the finished crepes onto a plate.
• Preheat the broiler. Put a crepe on your work surface and run about 2 tablespoons of the chicken and gravy down the middle. Roll the crepe up and place it, seam side down, into a baking dish. When you have eight assembled, sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Separate the chicken legs from the thighs, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Coat the pieces with the flour, shaking off any excess and reserve the leftover flour. Put the oil into a heavy bottomed skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown it on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate and add the carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms, and corn. Sprinkle with the reserved flour, and give it a good stir. Add chicken broth and stir. Nestle the chicken pieces into the vegetables and add enough water to just cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Just before the cooking time is up combine the baking mix, poultry seasoning, and milk in a small bowl. Drop the batter by tablespoons on top of the simmering chicken leaving some room between the dumplings. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 6 minutes. Put 1/2 of the onion in a large bowl and the remainder in another bowl. In the large bowl add the beef, bread crumbs, grill seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and the egg. Mix to combine everything well and form the mixture into 5 oval patties. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until they are well browned, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the steaks and pour off all but 2 tablespoons the fat. (The patties will not be cooked through and will finish cooking in the gravy.)
• Put the pan back on the heat, add the mushrooms, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the remaining onions, sprinkle in the flour, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the beef broth and bring it to a boil. Return the patties to the pan, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened and the steaks are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
