FOOD : VEGAN CHEESY BUCKWHEAT CREPES

Hello everyone,

Here is the ultimate vegan version of my favorite vegan crepes. As a true french girl I love "buckwheat" crepes. It's a classic dish from a french region that I truly love : "la Bretagne" (Brittany).
And I have a recent passion for "buckwheat" taste (gonna try to make homemade "Soba" noodles with it).
Anyway, I wanted to try a cheesy vegan version and found a good match.

You gonna need:

- A blender

For the batter /

- 1 1/2 cup of almond milk (filtered water works also)
- 1/2 cup of regular flour
- 1/2 cup of buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup of silken tofu
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp of tapioca flour
- 1 tsp of "viking salt"  (the smoky taste of it is matching with so many recipes)
- 1/2 tsp of baking powder

For the cheesy sauce :

- 1 cup of cashew nuts (put them for 2 hours in hot water and let them relax)
- 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast (or less depends if you want a powerful cheesy taste)
- 1 tsp or more of "viking salt"
- 1/4 cup of almond milk
- 1 clove of garlic
- Pepper

For the veggie filling:

- Asparagus (bleached in hot water and cut into small pieces)
- Mushrooms
- Baby spinach
- One red onion (finely diced)
- Salt / olive oil to cook (1tsp)
- Grated "vegan cheese"

For the batter, easy : add all the ingredients into a blender and blend. Transfer the batter to a clean bowl.
Let the batter rest and prep your "cheesy" sauce.

Again add all the ingredients into a blender, don't forget to drain your cashews / rinse them before adding those to your blender.
Blend again.
Put this sauce into a pan, adjust almond milk if the sauce looks too thick. Just slowly warm up the sauce, put the pan on a very low temperature. Just need to be at body temperature.
Cook your veggies.

First the onions, cook them for two minutes then add your mushrooms. When the mushrooms are almost cooked, add the asparagus and baby spinach.
In five minutes it will be ready to use.

Time to cook your crepes like regular one.
When you cooked all the batter, put a buckwheat crepe in your pan then add your cheesy sauce, grated vegan cheese, veggies and roll it into your pan.
Let the cheese do his job (melt) and serve. Yummy.

It's a very healthy lunch idea or dinner, plus with this recipe you can do so many different fillings and be creative. 

I hope you like this recipe, and you will try it. Even a non vegan person won't taste the difference. I finished all my vegan french cheeses from a brand named "Tomm'pousse" , they do very realistic true french cheeses. I will order more and try them with my crepes. Pretty sure it will be delicious. But be sure to be alone when you eat those, kissing someone after is not an advice I would give you 😝

Have fun in your kitchen and let me know on Instagram if you tried it.

XOXO💋
