stuffed crepes

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well, I know times are hard but we just need to keep praying to God to see us and our families through and I know he will. I just started teaching a cooking and baking class and we'd obviously be going through a wide range of recipes so I thought to post a few of them on here. This is actually a cost effective recipe and a healthy one too, I mean we're basically eating vegetables except for the mayo I added, I just couldn't do plain veggies I mean the mayo just balances it out for me talk about yum!,but if you don't want the extra fat, you could skimp on the mayo or do without it completely.
   First we need to make our crepes,these are french style pancakes usually very thin, you can make them either savory or sweet but for this recipe we would make them savory i.e no sugar then we make our filling for the crepes which I already mentioned earlier consists of vegetables although it doesn't have to be, you could fill them with chicken, beef, sausages, whatever you come up with. You could also make sweet crepes by adding about 2 tablespoons of sugar to this crepes recipe, then you could fill them up with a sweet filling like peanut butter, nuttela or jam. Its all about you, its your food so can do anything with it. Its a quick, easy and time saving recipe. Hope you guys try it.

Here's what you need
For the crepes
1 cup of flour
1 cup of milk
1 egg
1/4 cup of oil
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder

For the veggie filling
About 2 cups of lettuce
3 medium sized tomatoes
6 carrots, grated
1 medium sized green bell pepper
1 medium sized red bell pepper
1 cucumber
A dash of salt and black pepper
About 3 tablespoons of mayo or to taste

First we need to make our crepes, now combine all the ingredients for the crepes in a bowl in no particular order and mix together with a whisk. See I don't have detailed pictures on this post because I didn't think I was going to put it up on the blog at first, I only decided after I was almost done making them. So sorry we don't really have pictures today but I think its pretty easy to understand even without pictures

Back to the recipe, you should mix everything together until its properly combined, your batter should be of a pretty thin consistency.
Now heat up some oil in a pan or you could just use cooking spray on the pan over medium heat, then spoon a little bit of the batter inside it, move the pan around to spread the batter evenly across it. Fry for about 1 minute and then flip over to fry on the other side. you should have a pretty thin pancake, continue to fry until you have emptied your batter. It should give you about 7-8 crepes.

Now for the filling, wash and rinse your vegetables properly, you could wash them with salt to get rid of germs In a clean blow, tear the lettuce into smaller pieces with your hands, slice your bell peppers into long and thin slices and toss in the bowl, add in your grated carrots, quarter your cucumbers i.e cut round slices of the cucumbers and then cut each slice into half, then quarter. Do the same for the tomatoes then toss in the bowl along with the rest of the veggies.

Now add in 3 tablespoons of mayo and mix together until combined then add in a dash of salt and black pepper.

Now the next step is to fill your crepes , place your crepe on a flat surface, add about 2 spoons of the filling to the edge and then roll it to seal it, its that simple. Do this for the rest of your crepes until you run out of crepes or out of the filling. If you have any leftover veggies, you could just arrange them on your plate like I did. It could be eaten as a salad and it also makes for good presentation.

Enjoy
