Mushroom Crepes With Poblano Chile Sauce Recipes

MUSHROOM CREPES

Steps:

• For the crepes: Combine the eggs, milk, butter, salt and 1/2 cup water in the blender and blend for 7 to 10 seconds. Add the flour and blend until just combined, about 5 seconds, then stir in the herbs. Rest the batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• For the mushroom filling: Meanwhile, finely chop half of the shiitake and cremini mushrooms and set aside.
• Heat a 12-inch saute pan over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons butter. When it has melted, add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add all the mushrooms
• (sliced and chopped), salt and pepper to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and the entire mixture has reduced to about one third of its original volume, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the milk and cook until the mixture becomes a loose paste, about 2 minutes. Add the tarragon, chives and provolone and cook for another minute.
• Heat the oven to 200 degrees F or its lowest setting. And set a cooling rack inside a half-sheet
• pan.
• Place an 8-inch nonstick pan over medium-low heat and coat with cooking spray or 1 tablespoon butter. Pour 1 ounce of the batter into the center of the pan and swirl the pan to spread it around evenly. Cook for 30 seconds, or until the edges of the crepe begins to turn up. Flip (you can use a small offset spatula) and cook for another 10 seconds.
• Place the crepes in the oven on the cooling rack setup and cover with parchment until all the
• crepes are ready.
• Remove the crepes from the oven and turn broiler on high.
• Spread a thin layer of the mushroom mixture on a crepe. Top with Parmesan and another crepe. Transfer to a broiler-proof plate. Repeat with 1 more layer, finishing with Parmesan. Build another crepe on another broiler-proof plate. Put the plates into the oven (if they can fit) and broil until the cheese is just browned, about 1 minute.

MUSHROOM CREPES

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients for the crepe batter into a medium/large bowl. Mix with a hand (immersion) blender or in a stand blender until smooth. You can also just whisk it by hand.
• Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let stand for 30 minutes. While the batter is resting, prepare the filling.
• Prepare the ingredients: Cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch (5mm) slices (cut bigger mushrooms in half and then into slices). Chop the shallots, finely chop the garlic. Wash thoroughly spinach and chop it roughly into smaller pieces. Shred the cheese on the large holes of a box grater.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots, cook for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and thyme, cook for 30 seconds. Transfer the onion with garlic to a large bowl.
• Heat another 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat, add 1/2 of the mushrooms in an even layer. Don't stir for the first 1-2 minutes then stir from time to time and cook the mushrooms until the water is evaporated and the mushrooms are browned. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms. Transfer the mushrooms to the bowl with onions.
• Add the spinach to the pan and cook it briefly until lightly wilted. Transfer to the bowl.
• Add the shredded cheese to the bowl, season the filling with salt and pepper, stir until combined.
• Whisk the crepe batter before using. Add a small amount of butter (about 1/2 teaspoon) to a non-stick skillet/pancake pan and heat the butter over medium heat (high heat if you don't have a powerful stovetop) until it's melted and the pan is well-heated.
• Keeping the pan in your left hand (not on the burner) and the bowl with batter in your right hand, pour a small amount of batter into the pan, tilting and swirling the pan until a thin layer of batter coats the bottom of the pan. You can also pour in the batter with a measuring cup (1/4 cup) or with a ladle if that's more convenient for you, although the amount of batter needed will vary depending on the size of the pan.
• Cook the crepe for about 30 seconds or until the edges are looking dry and the bottom is light brown (lift the crepe with a spatula to check).
• Slide a flexible silicone spatula under the crepe and flip it on the other side. Cook for about 10 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Place some of the filling on one half of the crepe. Fold the crepe in half then again in half creating a triangle (you can also roll them up if you wish).
• Heat a small amount of butter in the pan, add the filled crepes and cook on both sides until golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
• Enjoy!

MUSHROOM CREPES

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the crepes and reserve on a plate. Prepare the chile sauce and reserve in the pan. (Both of these items can be prepared 1 to 2 days in advance.) 2. Prepare the chiles. Then, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the mushrooms and onions, stirring frequently, until the moisture has evaporated. Chop the chile and add to the pan along with the epazote, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix. Remove from heat and let cool about 10 minutes before filling the crepes. 3. Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease an 8- × 12- inch baking dish. Put about 1/3 cup filling on each crepe. (Do not overfill or they will be difficult to roll.) Roll, burrito style--with bottom folded toward center, sides folded in over the bottom, and then rolled into a cylinder--to encase the filling. Place seam side down in prepared baking dish. Reheat the sauce and pour over all. Top with grated cheese. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Place 2 crepes on each of 4 serving plates. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve at once.

STUFFED POBLANOS IN CHIPOTLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475°F. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, rub poblanos with 2 teaspoons oil. Roast until slightly blackened and softened, 15 to 20 minutes, turning once. Remove from oven. When cool enough to handle, remove skins with paper towels. Use a paring knife to make a small slit in each chile, then carefully remove seeds (and discard), keeping stem end intact.
• In a blender, combine chipotle, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup water; season with pepper. Blend until smooth. Add cilantro, and pulse once to combine.
• In a small saucepan, bring 2/3 cup water to a boil. Add quinoa; return to a boil. Stir once, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until quinoa is tender but still chewy and has absorbed all liquid, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Add corn and beans, and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese and the quinoa.
• Spread chipotle mixture evenly in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stuff peppers with filling, dividing evenly, and arrange in dish; dot with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool in pan 10 minutes before serving.
