Home > Teff Crepes with Sautéed Spinach and Mushrooms

  1. To prepare crepes, combine the teff flour and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl combine the milk, egg and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir with a whisk until smooth. Cover and set aside.
  3. To prepare filling, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté 5 minutes or until tender and beginning to brown at the edges. Add the spinach; sauté 1 minute or until just wilted. Salt and pepper to taste. Removed from heat and keep warm.
  4. Wipe nonstick skillet with a paper towel and return to heat. Pour a scant ¼ cup of batter into the pan and immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion to create a thin crepe. Cook 45 seconds or just until the surface of the crepe is set. Turn with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  5. Transfer cooked crepe to a clean kitchen towel. Repeat procedure with remaining batter for a total of 4 crepes.
  6. Divide the spinach and mushroom filling among the crepes; roll or fold the crepes over the filling. Sprinkle with ricotta salata, feta or Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve immediately.
